Behind you, a massive wing, two close-cowled Rolls Royce Merlins rumbling away on either side of the Dam Buster. Good company.

You reach the threshold. The engines are throttled back, provoking a healthy, satisfying crackle from the stub exhausts.

The Lancaster’s throttles are inched forward again, one engine at a time, testing the magnetos, exercising the airscrews. The Merlins snarl, the airframe shudders against the brakes.

All set! The snarl becomes an all-enveloping roar. The seat presses into your back.

The torque tries to drag the Lancaster off the runway, but skilful manipulation of the throttles brings her back. The tail comes up. The rudders come alive. The problem with the torque goes away. She’s running straight and true now. She lifts off.

“Gear up!” The Lancaster eases into a turn. You’re flying.

That body of water ahead could be the North Sea, it could be 1943, and you could be setting out on a dam raid on Germany. But the body of water is in fact, Lake Ontario, Canada. The time is now, and you have a more peaceful mission…Enjoy!

This documentary puts you into the cockpit of the Lancaster owned and operated by the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum. It’s a rare experience, because this is one of only two Avro Lancasters bombers still flying, anywhere in the world.

The Lancaster is perhaps best known for the famous “Dam Raids” in May, 1943, when aircraft of the RAF’s 617 Squadron attacked the Möhne, Eder, Sorpe and Ennepe dams in the Ruhr, using the revolutionary “bouncing bomb” designed by Dr Barnes Wallis. Later in the war, Lancasters carried the concrete-piercing Tallboy and Highball bombs, also designed by Wallis.

This aircraft is flown from its base at Hamilton, Ontario, by Don Schofield, a retired Air Canada captain. Multiple cameras provide detailed coverage in the cockpit, while footage obtained from accompanying B-25, Harvard, and Bell Jetranger provide a spectacular aerial perspective.

The full length version of this documentary movie is now available online for the first time, on Historical Machines TV (http://www.historicalmachines.tv), our premier advert-free video-on-demand streaming service. For less than the price of a cup of coffee per month you can access our ever-growing catalog of historical machinery videos. From US$2.99 per month. A FREE 7-Day Trial is available.

Last Spike Rail Festival (2008)

The romance of travelling by steam-hauled trains (in New Zealand) has been a fascination for young and old as was shown by the large crowds who participated at Feilding during Labour Weekend 2008 for the centenary of the opening of the North Island Main Trunk 100 years ago.

Our cameras follow the many steam-hauled excursions that operated during the weekend and the Grand Cavalcade of Locomotives.

This is a PBY-5A, an amphibian, so you can operate on land or water, but right now, the radial engines are bringing her in and you’re on short final for a landing on beautiful Lake Taupo, in New Zealand

You slide over the marina at about 150 feet. The lake stretches ahead.

One hand on the control wheel, the other on the throttles hanging from the cockpit roof. Landing a flying boat is different: you don’t flare it on; you fly it on, at a very gentle rate of descent.

The co-pilot is calling the numbers. “Eighty knots. Two hundred and fifty feet per minute.” That sounds, and feels, about right. A wing drops slightly. You have to move the control wheel a quarter-turn to bring it back. “Seventy-five knots. A hundred and fifty.”

You concentrate on keeping the nose at just the right angle. Get it wrong and the Catalina could bury herself, caving in the nosewheel doors and flooding the hull. It’s a critical point on the PBY - 5A. But this landing is going well. You’ve got the speed and the rate of descent just right.

The waters of Lake Taupo stream past, very close. “Seventy-two knots. A hundred feet a minute.”

You hear it before you feel it: a hissing sound as hull and water make contact.

You close the throttles. She slows and settles, making the transition; aircraft to watercraft in a few short seconds…that’s the magic of a flying boat.

Or, as one experienced PBY pilot puts it, “A Catalina is a twelve-ton speedboat with wings.”

Long-legged, rugged, and reliable, the PBY Catalina was used to pioneer many over-water air routes before and during World War Two, and achieved a distinguished record in both anti-submarine patrol and air-sea rescue work.

If you like flying boats you’ll enjoy it too.

If you like flying boats with radial engines, it’s pure bliss!
