Merchantman

Woodford is the site of an important British Aerospace plant involved in the production of the successful 146 and ATP airliners. Perhaps though it is best known to enthusiasts as the home of the historic Avro Co.The Lancaster, Shackleton and the Vulcan therefore take pride of place in this DVD with BAe types. RAFA NW has a long experience of organising this event and it shows with the scale and breadth of the displays and their ability to attract some rare types including the Merchantman. Spectacular weather combined to make Woodford '91 a vintage airshow.

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.
