ddavid 149 Posted August 14, 2011 Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 Back in May, Channel 4 aired a program on their re-creation of Operation Chastise. No Type 464 'Provisioning' Lancs were available, so they used a DC-4 flown by pilots from Buffalo Airways. Here are a couple of clips - the first is of the bombing run, shot close to the (artificial) dam wall - there's a 30 sec advert so be patient and don't be upset by the enthusiastic (uncensored!) comments by the camera crew: And a second clip from the DC-4's underbelly camera together with pilot/co-pilot commentary: I sure hope they show the program again. Anyone know if it's down-loadable? Sch-yeah - "Right On Saigon" - brilliannt! Hwyl - Dai. Link to post Share on other sites

aeromax 10 Posted August 14, 2011 Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 Not possible to get it here (country). YouTube is indicating that, so no chance to have a look at it. Same mentioned before from John. Link to post Share on other sites

Same mentioned before from John. luckily, for you chaps, i know of a cunning way around this having had US/Continental European streaming websites with country exclusive content block me before.... edit - links removed temporarily....i can't hot-link them to my top-secret system apparently. simi edit (again) - try these: and Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted August 14, 2011 Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 No joy, Simi. Your links still get me the same message. I guess since our credit rating was lowered by S&P we're persona non grata @ YouTube. Thanks for trying. John Link to post Share on other sites

John hmm, ok well the only other way i can think of is to use an anonymous proxy server.... try www.diggingtunnels.com and copy/paste the following URLs for the Dambusters videos on YouTube: 1st part = 2nd part = let me know how you get on.... if they work, i'll tell you the science bit!

allardjd 1,853 Posted August 14, 2011 Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 Entering www.diggingtunnels.com in the address bar of IE8 takes me to a "Subscribe to our Group" page, with a bunch of pop-up ads over the top of it. I'm not subscribing to their silly-ass group. It's OK, guys. I'll survive this. Link to post Share on other sites
