Whenever the EUFA Cup Final's in town, the nearest airport gets inundated with unusual airliners and it was Manchester's turn in 2003 - all captured on DVD and now available at a great value price.
Over 200 extra flights, arriving over a 15 hour period, brought 33,000 fans to Manchester on the 28th May 2003 and our camera crew were there from dawn to dusk capturing this exclusive airside footage. It's hard to describe the scene with so many airliners parked at the airport, so why not see for yourself!
To see a black and white still photo of a Viking is unusual; to watch one in action in colour, with sound, is amazing! That’s just one item in this superb collection of airliners, in service with independent operators from the fifties to the early eighties.
Remember the cross-Channel air ferries, carrying cars by Bristol Superfreighter and Carvair? There’s a wonderful sequence here that brings it all back, as we visit many UK airports plus Antwerp and Le Bourget. With authentic sound and no music, this is a treat no enthusiast should miss.
BKS Ambassador, Silver City Heron, BUA DC3s Carvairs & Superfreighters, Martinair DC3 DC4 & DC8, Euravia Constellation, Alidair Viscount, Redcoat CL44, British Eagle Britannia, Spantax CV990A, TAT F27, Balair DC6, Court 1-11, Airwork and Invicta Vikings and so much more!
If you like Soviet airliners and you want to see exciting close up action with types ranging from an AN2 to an AN124, this DVD is an absolute bargain.
For only £12.95 plus shipping, you get some of the best, most dramatic images of Soviet aircraft [and some interesting bizjets] that we've ever filmed. Watching a venerable IL62 arrive at night, or the Captain of an AN24 kicking the tires before taking off for some virtually unknown destination on the edge of the Black Sea, you really get a sense of being right there out on the ramp.
What a show, what a DVD - big props and warbirds shot from right beside the runway and it's now at an absolute bargain price.
This is our favourite kind of airshow DVD; no music, no 'talking heads,' just stunning images of some fabulous aircraft. The shot of an Anson in RAF colours puttering in over the threshold says it all; vintage action taken with modern professional digital video cameras - the best of both worlds.
Using expertly restored colour cine film from BAe Systems’ archives, with authentic sound throughout, this DVD tells the story of the BAC 1-11’s early sales success.
Construction, flight testing, route proving, first flights, sales tours -they’re all in this fascinating programme covering that exciting period from 1963 to 1967; when, as the world’s first short-haul jetliner, the BAC 1-11 broke into the all-important US market.
This DVD continues the story of the BAC 1-11; following the first four years of sales success that were covered in Part 1.
Using digital video and restored colour film from the BAe Archives, the introduction of the Series 500 and the development of two high performance 1-11s; the Series 475 and 670, are shown in detail. As the 1-11’s service life lengthened, so did the number of operators. Over 40 of them are seen on this DVD; from BEA to Savannah Airlines.
The Handley Page Herald was a tough, reliable, feederliner that earned respect from all who flew it, but never gained the success it really deserved. This DVD uses the manufacturer's cine film archive and modern digital video to bring you fascinating details of the Herald's development and service history.
Shot airside at Gatwick and Manchester, with additional material from Heathrow and Frankfurt, we take you from the 747 Classic and its later variants, to the Boeing 767 and 777. Airbus products start with the A300, the 310 and of course the 330/340 long range jets. Tristar fans, relax they're here, along with the DC10 and MD11. We actually go inside the third engine of a DC10, mounted high on the tail, for a fan blade check!
Beside the runway, on the ramp, around the airports - great locations, stunning shots, superb sound - that's AIRPORT ACTION - BIG JETS
