Biggin Hill International Air Fair is a two day event held every year. The organisers excited themselves for the 1994 show, attracting a huge range of participants and this full 82 minute video, featuring every aircraft displaying, does full justice to one of the best ever airshows at this historic Battle of Britain fighter station.

Military Airshow '92 is a compilation of the very best airshow action featuring a whole range of fighters, bombers, helicopters and transport displayed in the UK in 1992 introduced by David Oliver, editor of Airforces Monthly.

The oldest and newest are featured, so whilst saying goodbye to types like the Phantom, Buccaneer and F-111 we thrill to the sight of Rafale, Gripen, F--17 Stealth and new derivatives like the Harrier GR.7 and F-15E Strike Eagle.

Here it is again - Britain's Greatest Air Show - Farnborough! Every two years the premier aerospace manufacturers of the world gather to display the very latest in their technological achievements - the most exciting being tested in the air before upwards of 100,000 spectators.

This video concentrates only on the flying everyone wants to see. No interviews and no music intrude on the action.

On June 6th 1994 our cameras were among the very few privileged to attend the International Ceremony at Omaha Beach attended by the head of state of 13 countries. This sets the scene for several ‘all action’ commemorations at airshows and other events.

Aviation Action cameras attended 19 events in 1994 and we drew on the very best material in compiling this all action video. We pay tribute to the retiring Buccaneer but welcome theEurofighter with footage of both prototypes including air-to-air. The giant C-17 Globemaster III, the awesome Sukhoi Flanker variants the Su-30 and Su-35, and the Russian M55 (U-2 spyplane equivalent) all make their debuts.

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.

Airshow aficionados have long held Woodford's June show in great regard for both the variety and the rarity of the display items assembled. For hundreds and thousands though, it's been the Vulcan, the Lancaster and, recently, the Flankers of the Russian Test Pilots that have attracted them to Avro's famous historic site near Manchester.

USAF Gold, Part 1, featured the US Air Forces Anniversary display at Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada. The biggest annual USAF show in Europe is "Air Fete" at Mildenhall in England. This video draws together the highlights of the '96, '97 and '98 events.

A full line-up of US types includes the B2A Spirit 'stealth bomber' and the UK flying debut of the F117A Nighthawk. Also featured are B1, B52, C5, C17, C130, F15, F16, A10, MH53 and more including The Thunderbirds display team.
