The Sunderland International Airshow is one of Europe’s biggest and it’s free!

It takes place on the seafront at Seaburn and always attracts a big crowd; not just families looking for a day out and hoping to see regulars like The Red Arrows and Falcons Parachute Team but enthusiasts too drawn by rare appearances by Merlin, Apache and fast jets from Europe.

This year the star for everyone was the newly restored Vulcan bomber tearing the sky apart with its spine-tingling ‘howl’.

Despite a dire weather forecast, Royal Naval Air Station Yeovilton’s Air Day 2009 attracted a capacity crowd to see the Royal Navy celebrate 100 years of aircraft operation and an impressive series of displays.

Fortunately the worst of the weather held off and the 2 big set pieces, the big formation fly-by and the Commando Assault went on almost to plan.

To a cavalcade of regular displays add rare appearances like the Dassault Rafale, key historic types including the Sea Vixen and Seafire and almost every current navy type appearing at some point during the day.

Over 100 displays in a spectacular all-action cavalcade from 20 events, expertly captured by PlanesTV the UK’s most experienced airshow DVD producer. We had planned this as a Double DVD but we shot so much great material it's now on 3 DVDs and runs for nearly 6 hours!

2008 was an extraordinary year for British Airshows and will be remembered for some extreme weather conditions.

Each year RAF Waddington plays host to one of the biggest airshows in the UK. The undoubted highlight in 2008 was the return to the airshow scene of Avro Vulcan XH558. This program includes the Vulcan’s emotional return to Waddington and practise display before the event, as well as the aircraft’s main display and formation flypast with the Avro Lancaster.

The RAF Role Demonstration also provided a thrilling spectacle and material from onboard the E3D, Tornado F3s, Chinook and Apache add to the excitement.

The RAF was out in force in glorious weather for the Waddington 2006 show and every display item is included on this DVD. As a former bomber and now reconnaissance base it was appropriate to debut the new Sentinal R1, but also to pay a final tribute to the retiring Canberra. We present an extended tribute plus its blistering display.

Including all the highlights Yeovilton Air Day 2006.

Navy types, past and present, UK and foreign featured at Royal Naval Air Station Yeovilton’s 2006 “Air Day”. The RAF supported strongly and the Typhoon appeared for the first time.

It is the Commando Assault finale that Yeovilton is famous for and the Sea Kings, Lynx, Merlins, Harriers, Hawks, Falcons and troops were out in force with explosive effect!

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.

From its origins 17 years ago as a Garden Fete, Shoreham Airshow is now one of the best in the UK

The explosive Battle of Britain re-enactment saw the errant Messerschmitt seen off by no fewer than 5 Spitfires and 2 Hurricanes including R4118, Peter Vacher’s newly restored Battle of Britain veteran. There are interactive cockpit cameras in this Hurricane and the HAC Spitfire.

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.

Featuring stunning airshow displays from the Tutor, Merlin and Typhoon, RAF Interactive 1 puts you in the hot seat. Each display is interactive, allowing the viewer to switch between ground and in-cockpit views of the displays. There’s also a second soundtrack featuring on-board communications and pilot commentary. Listen and watch from the cockpit as the Tutor pilot flies flick roles, the Merlin pushes 90 degree nose overs and the Typhoon goes vertical after a near supersonic flypast!
