Victor

Elvington, home of the Yorkshire Air Museum and host to the annual Yorkshire Airshow, is a former RAF World War 2 bomber station. It's a good venue for spectators with the crowd line close to the runway, a crowd side operational area and a bonus for photographers the sun is behind you.

The Handley Page Victor, stalwart of the airborne refueling role in the RAF, is an unsung hero. The immense Victor effort needed to place a lone Vulcan over the Falklands for the Black Buck raids has never been fully appreciated. We present a graphic computer simulation.

The annual Mildenhall Air fete is the UK showcase for modern American might and muscle and this bumper length video features the most dramatic action from the 1988 to 1995 shows.

American types dominate particularly the 'heavies' for which "The Hall" is so famous but rare and spectacular contributors from a dozen other air forces are included too.

Warbirds over Wanaka

This short video makes a refreshing change from the UK displays having been drawn from material sent to us by an aircraft enthusiast living in New Zealand. It is not HiFi stereo and the technical quality is a generation below our other videos but the rare sight of a Flair Utility and Royal New Zealand Air Force Skyhawk more than make up.

USAF Mildenhall Air Fete '90

A USAF base, Mildenhall always delivers something special and this year proved to be a vintage one with a Victor in the flying display, and a notable demonstration by FAA Sea Harriers wish FRADU Hunters. A spirited display by a B52 pretending to be an A10 will be lasting memory to many.
