Historic Airshow presents ten highlights from 6 of the UK's premier events in 190 minute feast of spectacular action spanning the whole spectrum and history of powered flight from priceless biplane great to retired military jets.

The all action style will bring hours of pleasure to any aircraft enthusiast.

Narrated by Jerry Mead and Sean Maffett.

Fighter Meet is a 2 day event held in May at the former Battle of Britain airfield of North Weald in Essex.

Its reputation has grown to be one of teh foremost events in the aviation calendar and Fighter Meet '94 had the honour of being chosen as the RAF's official D-Day airshow.

The Royal Naval Air Stations at Yeovilton and Culdrose are the two biggest in the UK and they each out on a massive show to thousands of visitors in 1994.

The brand new Sea Harrier FRS 2 launches from Yeovilton's 'ski jump' and the Italian Tornado does nearly the same from a hard runway! Indeed, the Italians were out in force at these events with rare and spectacular displays by the new Avanti, G222, MB339 and iced by the Frecce Tricolori, arguably the world's best national aerobatic team.

The Shuttleworth Collection is home to over 30 aircraft from the earliest pioneers, through WWI and the record breaking 20's and 30's to the heroic Spitfire of WWII.

But what makes Shuttleworth unique is that most of tehir aircraft actually fly! They're joined by a variety of vintage and modern types at a series of themed flying events at their beautiful and photogenic airfield (Old Warden) in Bedfordshire.

The Biggin Hill International Air Fair is a 2 day event held in the Spring at the Historic RAF Battle of Britain base south east of London.

It's a very big show, attracting a variety of displays both military and civil. The enthusiast is always rewarded by something unusual like this years fly-bys by a Northwest Airlines Boeing 747.

"The delightful grass strip at Barton, Manchester is just off the M63 and, every May, hosts an extensive flying display. The 'barnstorming' fun is balanced by warbirds, and heavy metal and the organisers always manage to pull in something special. Enthusiasts this year were especially pleased to see impressive displays by the Boeing 757 and some vintage jets including an RAE Canberra."

Over 200 displays in a spectacular all-action cavalcade form 27 events, expertly captured by Aviation Action, the UK's most experienced airshow video producer by far. You'll see aircraft from every era in this video from the pioneers and warbirds at the Shuttleworth Collection's idyllic grass airfield to the heavy metal action at the big RAF and USAF bases. We feature in particular the USAF's official 50th anniversary show with the B2 'Stealth Bomber' and the Thunderbirds display team.
