Jon H Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 I watched it, not bad but I would have liked to see a bit more detail. Alas the aircraft in question was involved in a fatal accident last October and was very seriously damaged. The pilot was seriously injured and his backseat passenger died. AAIB are still working on their investigation into the cause. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Crook Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Worth keeping an eye on this channel - I caught a program on restoring a Lysander last week, and another on the visit of the Canadian Lanc. Both were pretty good. This channel is not on Freeview, but is on Freesat, channel 156. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Fairgrieve Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 I just watched the series on "Netflix" Kev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike T Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Frustrating shows. Lots of verbiage to camera - but not much in the way of actual restorations. Some of the "history" (from the "historian" ) was appalling!

Cuban8 Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Not a bad series so far, but still a bit too much off topic chat rather than detail on the 'resurrection' process. Warbird Workshop suffers from this as well and to a greater extent, although the programme on the humble Cub got the balance reasonably well. BTW, If you haven't done so already, check out Kermit Weeks and his Kermycam videos on YouTube.

Cuban8 Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 One of my favourite Kermie Cam videos - Grumman Wildcat. In three parts so lots of background info about operating the aeroplane and some nice close up detail during the walk-around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Cunnington Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 I'll second that C8, very interesting videos - as are the series his engineer Paul S is doing on the Me108 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin b Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Saw the Yak 3 "resurrection". What a pile of rubbish ! I thought it was going to be about a rebuild, not a hanger queen. It was just a story about an aeroplane with moving pictures. Built in the 1960's and now made to look like a WWII warplane. There was some good historical stuff though.

J D 8 Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Another vote for Kermie Cam, Much enjoyed all three parts of the Wildcat vid's. Going along for the ride was fun. A few years ago some clubmates went on a trip to Fantasy of flight and happened to meet Kermit who on finding they had come from Wales gave then a personal tour.

Colin Carpenter Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Just watched the Mossie. I remember going to see the NF2 rebuild in Yorkshire decades ago. Impressive ! Tony was cutting a scarf joint on a wing spar with a normal rip saw !!! My wife picked up the pilots releif tube apparatus from the floor and spoke into it , asking Tony , is this the pilots radio ??? He told her No !! The pilot peed into it in flight !!! She was nearly sick !😂😂😂😂😂😂 Still did laughing thinking about it !!! Colin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
