A26 Invader

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.

1992 saw the 50th Anniversary of the UK arrival of the US 8th Air Force and the show featured a strong warbird presence. The Douglas A26 Invader is a rare sight at UK airshows. The Vulcan and RAF Phantom were here in their last ever display at Mildenhall. American air power excelled with Starlifter, Galaxy, F15E and the F14 Tomcat. But the star of the show (on static display) was the F117A "Stealth Fighter". Our cameras were there to record its arrival.

As well as all the aerial action at Southport we take a look behind the scenes at Blackpool Airport for some of the aircraft preparing for their displays. The aerial action is the focus though and all the aircraft that displayed feature on this DVD including the Red Arrows, two Spitfires and the Typhoon.
