The Canberra/B-57 was notoriously difficult to handle if one engine failed.
The interesting thing is that the pilot in the clip seemed to handle it OK up until the landing but then tried to go around.Kermie Cam around his Connie (Starliner) and some interesting information on the Breitling and Lufthansa aircraft - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezDhBHIiyLM
Another Kermit Weeks visit, this is part 2 of his recent walk around the late Paul Allen's Flying Heritage Museum in Everett Washington. On here because it shows the Stuka project and the original Me262 which are both scheduled to be flying soon. The 262 using original engines but with the low quality material parts replaced with high quality modern materials - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=viT0Lb6asis
I challenge you to watch this without cracking a smile. Fantastic footage and not a bad film !

Daks after Duxford...
After the D Day celebrations, many of them moved on to Berlin to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the airlift. Here's some nice Youtube footage of them landing.

Apparently there should have been a mass landing at (now disused) Tempelhof and a flypast over the city centre and Reichstag, but the kill-joys in the local Government forbade it. One of the US pilots was furious about this and went on record to say that he won't be coming back to Berlin for the 75th anniversary.

In fairness as you say its disused, which means no fire cover, no fuel, no security. The whole site is now a park so trying to clear it of rubbish etc would be pain. I sympathise with the kill joy on this one! And yes, i know the Formula E race was held there, but that was on the terminal apron which is permanently secured anyway.After the D Day celebrations, many of them moved on to Berlin to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the airlift.

Apologies for posting something that's not actual footage, but I just spotted this movie was coming up at my local arts cinema: https://www.picturehouses.com/cinema/Arts_Pictureh...
"The Cold Blue is a tribute to the men who fought and risked their lives to help achieve victory 75 years ago. Extraordinary never-before-seen colour footage shot by one of the greatest directors, William Wyler, takes us 30,000 feet over Nazi Germany, battling killer flak, enemy fighters and the biting cold. All the odds were stacked against returning home alive; men died to bring this harrowing footage into cinemas today.
Wyler went to Europe in 1943 to document the air war in progress and flew actual combat missions with B-17s. Incredibly, all of the raw colour footage he shot for The Memphis Belle was recently discovered in the vaults of the National Archives, and a new film has been constructed out of the material.
The Cold Blue will play alongside an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the making of the film. It includes an evocative look at the Second World War from a range of unique perspectives; how the UK viewed the support of the Allied troops; poignant and difficult moments brought to life via incredible colour footage; and interviews with veterans of the Eighth Air Force, director Erik Nelson and Wyler’s daughter Catherine."
Movie trailer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tmwm4VPW7RY
(Maybe you've already seen it on HBO? We don't have such new-fangled TVness here!)

Perfect gear up landing, Lockheed Electra firefighting water tanker, Alberta Canada June 22nd 2019 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GA6MGvL_Sko
Surely faked, I thought. But then I saw this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4D0yx4DvBk (warning - the "music" is probably the choice of these young gum-chewing guys)

I'm not entirely sure how this modern net-TV subscription stuff works in practice, but perhaps you can register for the free trial and then cancel? See here for this particular movie: https://www.amazon.com/Cold-Blue-Not-Specified/dp/...
Didn’t want to make a separate thread for this and I couldn’t find anywhere else to post this but I find it amazing that when the red arrows display for the Silverstone GP they seem to use my mums house as a reference point and even left the smoke on until they passed the house in the first clip
