Su-26

Even as the cold war drew to an end, no-one could have predicted the fantastic sights of awesome Soviet technology that we were destined to be seen at forthcoming airshows. The Bear and Backfire epitomise the dark threat that the West lived with for forty years whilst the Russian Knights team with six Flankers and the Rolls Royce powered Tu 204 herald a new era of friendship and co-operation.

"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."

Looking for the Official Airbourne 2008 DVD

One of the best airshows in the UK and its free! We shot some of our best material thanks to a high vantage point, condensation and vortices around the jets and the rare sight of anti-missile flares being fired not permitted over land.

No fewer than 27 display items including the Red Arrows in glorious blue sky plus the emotional Sunset Ceremony.
