Rex's Hangar
Australia
Приєднався 28 жов 2021
Chris -a.k.a "Rex"- likes to talk about planes. A lot.
Usually he spends his days consuming vast quanities of coffee, reading vast quantities of aviation-related books, and talking about his obsession for all things that fly (birdlife included). This channel will focus on aviation and aviation history. It will cover the history and development of aircraft, famous & equally obscure events, and delve into many of the lesser known stories of aviation. Enjoy!

Bristol Bulldog - The 'Pilots Dream Fighter'
Today, the plucky Bristol Bulldog is the focus of our attention. I have a soft spot for this machine, so this video is a little longer than the usual "overview" video.

Vídeo excelente! 🌟
Awesome thanks rex
Excellent book, "Reach for the sky", depicts the Douglas Bader history. Highly recomended.
The Stuka is all about function over form. Looks like a menacing insect that will make your picnic a nightmare !
Nice looking plane! Great vid for the afternoon slump at work 😅
I always gotta laugh when I see Finnish Air Force markings from the 1930s. I wonder how many times a conversation starts with newbies to Finish history as: "Why do your planes have the Bad Signs on them...?"
A very interesting Video, as always, thx for that 🎉👍🛩️
Great vid!
I never saw a Bulldog fly, but arrived at Farnborough in time to see the wreckage being cleared up in 1964. So glad it was eventually restored.
10:15 "Bristol was the underdog..." Very clever! Another nicely done video. Thanks!
As the man himself said "It's Bah-der"
Very interesting... Thanks
Another great video.
Wrecks 'is hanger? Why the hell would 'ee do that?
Rex: next time you're in England I highly recommend that you visit 'The Shuttleworth Collection'. A superb collection of WWI, WWII and vintage aircraft; many of which are airworthy and flown. Quite near Duxford.
I love how the Bulldog's tailfin has a "thumbs up" shape. Good vibes!
I have a ceramic plate with bulldog xD great airplane and its classic design is awesome
Nothing about that replica that's been built in America the last few years? It's a fabulous job!
what a shame. no one liked bader. his big wing idea with mallory was one of the greatest blunders of the british in WW2. awesome video as ever though chap :)
This is an excellent return to the fray Sir! Good work. (Bader is pronounced: "Bahder" not as in Vader.)
Never apologise for one of your videos being "too long" .... there is no such thing on this channel. :-)
How timely with the release of the new Airfix kit in 1/48 scale.
I made the Airfix model of the Bulldog, I do enjoy it in my collection.
Right on time for Airfix' new released 48th scale model :D
Great video. Only a correction: no French volunteers flew the Hawker Fury (with Hispano engines), only Spaniard pilots, and Lieutenant Monico was downed by Garcia LaCalle, who would be an Ace on the Republican side and would rise to the range of Commander and chief of all republican fighters.
Rex! You're back! Good to see you posting again, my friend. Hope all is well with you.
another half hour of aviation goodness.
26 minutes of Rex's Hangar on a Monday WOOOOOOO
Eh dude....its TUESDAY.🤣🤣🤣
@@jaws848I just woke up when it was uploaded, okay?
Its Tuesday lil bro
@@highgeneralkage2748 i was being sarcastic...lighten up..🤣🤣🤣
@@highgeneralkage2748 you slept an entire day away?
The diversity of perspectives woven into this conversation is incredibly enriching. It's like a mosaic of thought and experience.😻
Hope things turn around for you man. I would love to hear what your long term goals in aviation are.
F.A.Q Section - Ask your questions here :) Q: Do you take aircraft requests? A: I have a list of aircraft I plan to cover, but feel free to add to it with suggestions:) Q: How do you decide what aircraft gets covered next? A: Supporters over on Patreon now get to vote on upcoming topics such as overviews, special videos, and deep dives. Q: Why do you use imperial measurements for some videos, and metric for others? A: I do this based on country of manufacture. Imperial measurements for Britain and the U.S, metric for the rest of the world, but I include text in my videos that convert it for both.

Day 2 of asking for Rex to do in-depth video on the Spitfire
F4u Corsair
Interesting. I would have thought that a Russian would be apprehensive to sell military aircraft to the Japanese after what happened in 1905.
thanks rex! love the p40.
Hope all goes well. I didn't mind the radio silence as it allowed me to catch up on your videos.
Armstrong turrets were hand cranked --- because of course they were. 😂
I believe the company wasn't called Martin-baker, till after baker died and was renamed in his honour. The death of baker made Martin to invent the first ever ejector seat. Martin-baker is still the so world's largest supplier of ejector seeds. Supplying 99% of the world's air forces.
Take care man,love your stuff ;but don't worry we can wait ,hope it all gets settled down soon 😊
The Whitley looked as lunatic as so many French aircraft but worse.
Good luck friend
Dude, so sorry to hear the news - good luck with the new job; all the very best for your future from New Zealand!
Thank you for releasing these seasons like this, I've been sleeping to you every night for weeks now
Already watched this, but it's back on my recommendations list a day after a crash of one of the few flying examples (two dead, unfortunately). Coincidence, or The Almighty Goog doing its thing?
Popular with the masses due to the Cool Shark Mouth. That's Ok.
Glad to hear you’re feeling better, I was wondering why there haven’t been any new videos. If you’re going to do a parasite fighter video don’t forget about the US Navy’s ridged airships that were doing that. Good luck with your new job. Looking forward to new videos. RK in the USA
That must be a hand full. 12 throttles, 12 Mixtures, 12 Prop levels, 72 engine instruments.
I am sorry to hear that you were ill. I am glad to hear that you are feeling better. Thank you for your dedication to our aviation past.
