Shame you can't see the Discovery stuff as some of it is great. You know me I might eventually sneak some of it onto viewable form...
MW here is something you can watch - first up a demo of using a multi-barrell (Vulcan?) onboard ship.
Second, a take off clip of the Typhoon.
Third, the BBMF over the D Day anniversary... ruined by intercuts to the folks on the ground... oh well. |

Country:  | Nice videos Roy. Your right the D-day one is ruined by intercuts to the people on the ground, most of whom don't seem that in awe of it either

| Ungrateful frogs!
BTW my mum was there at these celebrations and while she was in awe of it all she and her chums took a dim view of other aspects. It was a very hot day and they had not provided enough shade and water for the vets and their helpers. Worse still, these 'heroes' had to wait upon the VIPs. Everyone was messed about while they awaited the arrival of ER, JB et al., shame on them. Summat else you never see on the TV coverage of these events.
Anyway, the weather was good today so I hope someone posts some pix etc from the Duxford show.
The Discovery Wings special 40s 50s and 60s rolls on nicely.... almost too much to tape!
A thought occured to me about this. On another site - one for concert bootlegs - they have 'tape trees' or these days 'CD trees'. I think it works with someone sending a tape/CD to two others who copy them then send them on to two others etc etc. We could do it with videos... I send a copy to two of you then you copy em and so on.... all relies on us having DVD copiers... and who hasn't these days?
I have some vids to keep you amused in the mean time.
B57: short clip showing it letting go a load of bombs...
Canberra at our local airshow in Cranfield a few years ago...
Year n years ago a look at the Swift and other jet fighters.... | |

| My Canberra at Cranfield video
This is from the good old days when they staged air shows at Cranfield... I used to go there as a kid... saw one of the TSR2 prototypes in the hangar too. A chunky file but worth the d/l IMHO! | |

| Yet more of the classic 'unter!
Used to enjoy seeing this plane when I was a kid at airshows - such as Henlow or Cranfield. Indeed it is one of the ones we are lucky to still be able to see. I have some nice footage of them at that Classic Jets show at Cranfield coming up soon..
This is the nice-looking Hunter side by side two seat trainer... looks good unlike some trainer conversions. For ex I am not sure I like the Lightning 2-seater as much as the single seat. | |

Country: | Nice video Roy. I have some nice pics of the Hunter from Leuchars this year, not sure if I have any videos though.
