Lego Plane VS Cursed Planes

I think I've just discovered that a bunch of the strangest planes in aviation history are all parked together, and you can go inside most of them, so let's have a look. Also, whoa, an Ethiopian cargo. So up here is the entrance place where you gotta pay, and this is a pretty cool room. Whoa, a map of the airport. Which airport? This is East Midlands Airport. Oh my, what is that? It looks like some sort of aisle 62 holding a pencil. I think that's actually a VC-10, which was also a quadjet. And do you see that thing? I'm not only going to be going inside it, but also taking my Lego DHL-767 in there with me, which seems to be attracting a few people to have a look. You should subscribe to me on YouTube, Super Snail Boy. Yeah, you'll see this in about a month. Here there were some small planes that I've never seen before. This is well beyond my aviation knowledge, but I will use this as a photo shoot opportunity. Wow, wasn't this plane so cool looking? I guess DHL planes are now the banana planes, because Spirit Airlines died yesterday. That's still really difficult to come to terms with. Anyway, back over here is, I think, this great big Hawker Siddeley Nimrod, and its engines look like the Comet's engines. I also showed one of these in a video last year at Manchester Airport, and yeah, it's super cursed looking. Well, from the aeropark, you can clearly see the DHL sitting over there. So I got some flight scenes and even saw a few arrivals flying in, like this Aer Lingus. Oh, and this patrol car. All right, 767, enough messing around, because we're gonna take you inside the plane that we saw at the start of this video. No, not in this random TUI, not in this Ryanair, and not in this, uh... That kind of looks like a DC-3, but it's not. Well, we're gonna go inside this plane. You see this red stripe livery it has? It's because it is basically an ancient DHL in a way. Apparently, the aeropark bought it off DHL on the other side of the airport, and here it is. Uh, I can put it down. Yeah, no worries. Yeah. I'll keep an eye on it for you. It won't fly away, don't worry. It's obviously quite a mess at the moment, but there are some cool things. And have a look at the flight deck, from where you can see a lot of the other planes around here. Well, it was used sometimes for transporting cargo and even animals. Pretty weird thing. Anyway, I have not seen all the planes around here, and here we can get a good view of the plane. It kind of looks like one of those ripoff 747s. Here are some British-built planes, like the VC-10. It's very cool, in my opinion. I need to make it in LEGO sometime. Anyway, let's go inside one of these nose sections. We can see this one has a British European Airways livery. This plane is the Vickers Vanguard. You can see it had four propeller engines. Now, that is one unique airliner. I looked up the registration here, and apparently this ended up as a cargo plane. But we have not been lied to, as it indeed was BEA before then. Let's hop into the flight deck, and there's a man up here who knows some stuff about this plane. All the guides here are volunteers, by the way, which is nice. They just do this because they like these planes. Oh yeah, just as cramped as a 737. Oh no, that's half the size. Oh, and this is some pilot hat that was here. And this is, I think, now my fourth time in a cockpit. We've got this, the Red Stripe plane, my A220 flight where they didn't let me record, and, of course, the beautiful Ryanair flight 9677 in 2024. Well, I now had to leave the aeropark to go to, of course, crash the 767 at one of the spotting areas. As I was leaving, a bunch of the people were pretty interested in my plane. I've been up close to DHL with it. I've shown some DHL people this build. It's got a cargo door up here at the front. So what's the point of all these planes being here anyway? Well, I think every single one here was made in the UK, not in any other country, which actually shows how much more diverse aviation used to be instead of just Boeing or Airbus. But the production of planes is still a big industry in England, as we saw in my Beluga video on this channel last year. It's just that the manufacturing is shared across way more countries now. Of course, this trip was part of my brand new airline series, which I sincerely thank you guys for the support and hype about it. I've done pretty well with the uploads on the main channel lately, but posting new videos has to slow down soon but I want to show you guys my plans for the airline series because I think you really deserve to see what I'm planning for the future of Super Snail Boy. Five episodes taking us into the year of 2028 with the finale where I plan to travel deep into aviation history. Let's be certain that our style of Lego aviation will stay relevant for a very long time. I'm very motivated to keep going. And of course, I need your help, which is just to feel the same way by just staying curious and hyped about Lego plane videos as they improve and branch out. And finally, I hope you remember there is an even bigger fan favorite series that will eventually continue and take us into the future of Lego aviation.
