My Aunt recently passed away and while my Uncle was going through the belongings he found some old Super 8mm footage she had shot. He had them transferred them to a DVD and for the first time this-week I saw the films.
Now most of them are family memorabilia, but she did carry her camera with her a lot and on one of her trips to The Royal Show in Warwickshire (I make the assumption mid to late 70's) she recorded some low-passes by A Vulcan Bomber, a Lancaster Bomber, the Red Arrows and also some other aircraft I can't make out.
I have uploaded the clip (just over a minute long as sadly film was a luxury then for her) to youtube so anyone interested can view it.
There was no sound on the clip so I have left it as is.
Hope you enjoy it, cheers, MP
Watch it here:
After watching the clip I can appreciate just how large it was but also how 'daring' the pilots could be with low-level passes.
