The
RAF Waddington International Airshow is the RAF’s premier public
event of the year and despite a poor weather forecast, thousands flocked
to the show. Unfortunately the weather caused the cancellation of the
second day but not before we’d witnessed some fantastic aerial demonstrations.
This DVD focuses on the flying action and takes footage from the press
preview day as well as the Saturday show day. Highlights include the Indian
Air Force’s Russian designed Su-30MKI and Ilyushin
transport and tanker aircraft.
An important part of the airshow was a special Falklands War 25th anniversary
ceremony where Lady Thatcher joined appreciative veterans and members
of the public in commemorating the conflict. The future was well represented
too with a formation display from Waddington’s Sentry, Nimrod and
new Sentinal aircraft. This DVD also includes a special appearance by
the new Nimrod MRA4 aircraft.
