HMCS Warrior
Launched on 20 May 1944 and completed on 24 January 1946 she was transferred to the Royal Canadian Navy, commissioned as HMCS Warrior and placed under the command of Captain Frank Houghton.[1] She entered Halifax harbour on 31 March 1946, a week after leaving Portsmouth. She was escorted by the destroyer HMCS Micmac and the minesweeper HMCS Middlesex. The RCN experienced problems with the unheated equipment during operations in cold North Atlantic waters off eastern Canada during 1947. The RCN deemed her unfit for service and, rather than retrofit her with equipment heaters, made arrangements with the Royal Navy to trade her for a more suitable aircraft carrier of th...

my dad flew them, - RNZAF
My uncle Ted was a tail gunner in one of those bombers in No 10 Squadron unfortunately he was missing in action on a bombing raid on Essen.
🇬🇧👍✈️🇬🇧
WOW! EXCELLENT HISTORICAL FILM. THANKS!
Superb footage
One of the greatest British aircraft ever, some people would argue that the Spitfire or Lancaster was better but they couldn't do half of the things the Mosquito did like flying to Berlin and back twice in one night on a regular basis; the bomber versions famously very fast could cruise at 360 m.p.h (just remember that's the top speed of a Battle of Britain Spitfire!)! Spitfires never had the firepower that the Mosquito had. The Spitfire was a beautiful killing machine but the Mosquito did everything better with style and flair.
My grandfather did two tours as a navigator for the rcaf out of Linton on Ouse in this aircraft
Super. 💙 T.E.N.
Hawaii Mars II is being preserved at the BC aviation museum in Sydney BC while the Philippine Mars is headed for the Pima aero space museum in Arizona.
my GP was shot down in one of these on Feb 15th 1944 en route to Berlin. he was part of the pathfinders from 35 Squadron, leading in 19 other aircraft. He had logged 19 previous missions. he evaded capture and got back to old blighty 6 months later
See the movie, 'The Great Excapest'
Eines der besten zweimotorigen Flugzeuge aller Zeiten. Robust, schnell und ordentlich bewaffnet. Ideal für Störangriffe aller Art. Dazu ein elegantes Design.
These aircraft have an interesting state of modification. The nose turret has been replaced with the glazed nose and the mid-upper turret has been replaced with the later style, but the tailfins have not yet been replaced with the later style. Usually you only see pictures before modification, or with the mid-upper turret removed and nose turret faired over, or completely modified.
Wow great to see. My uncle was a rear gunner in 1 of these and died after it suffered engine failure... he was 23, sq 76. 1944..may all who gave the ultimate for our freedom forever rest in peace.❤
Pesawat jenis ini yang diikutkan dalam menggempur Surabaya saat Perang 10 Nopember 1945,namun keberanian pejuang Indonesia tak pernah diragukan..Inggris hampir musnah dalam 3 hari namun terselamatkan oleh kehadiran Presiden Sukarno untuk mendamaikan.. Brigade 49 kebanggaan Inggris tak berarti apa_apa di pertempuran 3 hari bulan Oktober 1945
A modeler's goldmine. Copious thanks.
The high speed and high ceiling made it nearly impossible to shoot down. And with only two crew, the loss of an aircraft was far less costly than the 4 engined aircraft. IMO they should have been used far more than they were.
They were used everywhere? Fighter bombers, night fighters, Light bombers, pathfinders, reconnaissance, maritime strike aircraft with torpedoes, rockets 57mm cannon. They were used in nearly every theatre and front line. High speed was one thing for a bomber, but against later fighters like an Fw190 or updated Me109 they could be in trouble and be chased down and the high altitude models were generally the recon models only that were stripped down with no guns. My favourite aircraft, it's just beautiful especially the Mk VI fighter bombers with the 4 cannon + 4 machine-guns in the nose and the Tse Tse MkXVIII with the 57mm Howitzer for hitting subs.
Hudsons were employed in the battles around New Britain, New Guinea, the Solomon chain in '42, '43.
My father's all time favourite aircraft [his father was RAF, served out in north Africa] and this was designed and built at the aerodrome just down the road from where he lived as a child [Hatfield}.
My dad did about 1000 hours on the Anson at Regina and London Ontario went on to Hudson and later on the Dakota with 435 SQN in India 436 in England post war
They trying too make out was a Canadian plane lol
Just like the Lancaster, some were built in Canada. British industry could only do so much. There were a fair number of Canadian crews too.
The Canadians had great fun flying the Mosquito and gave a whole new meaning to causing havoc- just ask the Germans who were on the receiving end!
Leslie Nielsen was an RCAF bomber tailgunner in ww2, its how he damaged his hearing. Any idea what type he flew in?
Wonderful to see in colour, thank you for posting. My Granddad was a Rear Gunner in the SOE: 138 Squadron, dropping spies (often female) and special forces at night over occupied and enemy territories. He flew 25 sorties and survived to become a Cabinet Maker. RIP and eternal thanks to him and all those who were not so fortunate to survive the war.
Fake sound.
One of the most interesting facts about the Halifax was that Sir Handley-Page himself hated the Merlin engine when everybody else seemed to want it dearly. He wanted the Bristol Hercules sleeve-valve engines, already fitted on the Short Stirling, but for all early Halifaxes was forced to take the Merlin instead. In principle he was right, since early Hercules engines offered more power than early Merlins and, typical of air-cooled radials, could sustain more battle damage than liquid-cooled V12s. Early Halifaxes suffered from fatal crashes due to handling vices. Aerodynamically revised later Halifaxes all had the much-desired Hercules and were quite successful. In contrast, Lancasters fitted with the Herc radials were not considered a success. Compared to the Lancaster, the Halifax had two drawbacks: a lower ceiling, making it more vulnerable to enemy Flak. Development of high altitude fighter engine supercharger design had been of great benefit to the Rolls-Royce Merlins. Second, it didn't have the unobstructed extra large bomb bay like the Lancaster. Therefore it could not drop large single bombs like the Tallboy which sank the German battleship Tirpitz
HALIFAX HX186 LOST OVER KOBLENZ. If anyone knows anything about it being in Lake Sylvia, please let me know. ruclips.net/video/1AhlFZdqIX4/видео.html
A Mosquito is an emotional plane... we used to operate them with our RNZAF and we have a restored Mosquito that lived in John Smith's shed for many years.. cheers from down under ✈️👍🇳🇿

Hey do you know what base this video was made at
The mossie had the lowest ( crew) casualty rate in all of bomber command .It ( the Mossie ) could fly to Berlin with a heavier bomb load than the B 17 , and be home in time for tea and biscuits ( that's cookies to you yanks )
Another YT uploader said only 1 in 100 was lost, hard to believe.
The Mosquito could and did(!) fly to Berlin and back twice in one night on a regular basis. It flew so fast that by the time the Lancasters, Halifaxes and Stirlings had reached the Dutch German border on the way to Berlin the Mosquito would have got to Berlin, dropped it's bomb load and be on it's way back to base!
ozzie mossies , that's a new one for me !!!!
Yep, although there were issues with heat and humidity in Burma and the tropics with the glue dissolving..they changed the recipe for the glue around and fixed the problem though
the wooden wonder is such a beauty ! 😍 love from 🇩🇪...
Fastest climb ratio until jets came out I think. Maybe that was the hornet. Definitely in the top 10 for best WW2 aircraft. Used for almost every role. Extremely versatile. Even had the one with the field gun in it. Love them
awesome footage, very rare to find original video of this beautiful aircraft type
The thing almost the size of a B25, but with a single pilot. Wow!
Nearly as large but considerably faster by 40-50 MPH. The Havoc even served as a might fighter. Douglas engineer Ed Heinemann did a great job. His follow on, the A-26 was even greater, serving in WWII, Korea, and Vietnam. My personal favorite, having worked on them in the Navy was the A-4 and 2 seat TA-4 Skyhawk, AKA "Scooter."

Some very clean footage there, thank you.

I was working at Avro in 1956. I'm 6.6 tall and stood under the tail and reached up and touched it
I worked at Avro in 1956. I'm 6ft 6 tall stood under the tail reached up and touched it. I was one of Canada's worst desitions to not support Avro financually in continueing to financialy
It shot down more enemy planes, but never got the credit it fully deserved. Just criminal, really.
It’s a pity Ukraine doesn’t have a couple of dozen mosquitoes for chasing drones. Except you don’t need four cannon to shoot them down.
4 cannon AND 4 machine guns
Being largely wood they are also probably harder to spot by the Ruzzian Ruscist terrorists (when not drunk or running away).
I’ve read an unofficial log book of one lucky Halifax crew who survived the war, on their first trip to Germany they shot down two enemy fighters and narrowly escaped being shot down themselves … they quickly learned that shooting their guns gave away their position, far better to dive erratically out of danger.
It is an shame, that none of those beauties is restored to working condition and plowing the Yukon again. The reservation list would be endless.
It started as an unarmed bomber or recce aircraft, but as soon as the nay sayers saw it move they said "How about we hang some guns on it?" Wink, wink. The rest is history. About the only variant they never tried was a submarine.
Yeah, because the parachutes wouldn't work under water.
Hey thank you for looking at the mosquito suggestion I sent you Cheers Phil
Thanks for this 👍🇳🇿
Play Artie Shaws' Begin the Beguin over this and relax. This is the best looking and worst version of the Halifax. Dig the Spitfire just flopping in and out at will.
Wunderbar !

Thanks for the post
