156Squadron will become famous soon enough
Default YOUTUBE Videos

Have been trawling thru YOUTUBE for some Lancaster / Bomber Command material.

Some good things found which I am now linking to from my site:

http://www.156squadron.com/video.asp

Can anyone identify the Squadron involved in the formation flying crash?

Sorry Robin, but the crash looks like Computer generated graphics.

You are not alone in being fooled,.
This amazing bit of work by a Japanese animator of mossies in flight has caught me and many others out too:

Well worth a look.

Cheers,

I reckon Adam's right - that looks like a simulation, for sure.....

Yes, well, you could be right.

On second inspection the trees look a bit dodgy!!

Guess I was taken in by the grainy images.

Will leave it up for a while, to see whether there are other opinions

Anyway the rest are OK? (I think!)

The 156Sqn clip is interesting, almost certainly a composite I think. The conversation indicates a "first mission", unlikely for 156, and no Target Indicators were mentioned in the bomb load.
