Still shots from the DVD
Zurich 1994 and 2001 : £17.95 : 130 minutes
One of the fascinating things about aviation is the way in which everything is constantly changing. So, you would expect to find that most of the aircraft featured in our 1994 Zurich video had either disappeared or moved on to other operators by now. But the idea that Swissair would be grounded just five months after filming our second video in 2001, would have seemed crazy at the time.
Airport Action Zurich [1994]has been digitally re-mastered from the original camera tapes and given a new commentary that provides details of the subsequent careers of some of the aircraft featured.
Zurich 2001 was originally a digital production and this has been transferred to DVD with the commentary unaltered. As a result, it's a real 'time capsule' - taking you back to an era when Swissair was still one of the world’s major airlines.
Highlights include:
Soviet airliners still flying for major carriers, including: Tarom IL18. TU 134s of Malev, CSA and Air Ukraine. Polish A.F., Tarom and Malev TU154s. Air Commerz and Avioimpex Yak 42s.
Swissair 747s, A310s and MD11s. Thai MD11s. Air Lanka and BWIA Tristars. Balair A310. Korean 747SP. Classic Air DC3. Tarom and Air Alfa BAC 1-11s. Arkia, Olympic, RAM and BA 737-200s and lots more.

DVD formats explained
There are several different kinds of DVD available so here's a simple guide.
DVDs are 'pressed' from a master disc.
DVD-Rs are 'burnt' from a master DVD, just like copying one CD to another.
DVDs and DVD-Rs will play in any computer DVD drive [but not in a CD drive].
All our DVDs/DVD-Rs are 'region-free', so they will play anywhere in the world. However, if you're not watching your DVDs on a computer, you will need to ensure they are compatible with your national TV system. There are two main types; PAL and NTSC.
PAL TV is used in the UK, Europe, Australia, New Zealand and many other Commonwealth countries. PAL DVDs are therefore the obvious choice for those countries.
Because PAL DVD players will also play NTSC DVDs without any adverse effect on picture quality, DVDs that were filmed in NTSC are now released as PAL/NTSC DVDs, as the same format can be used world-wide.
NTSC TV systems are used in the USA, Canada, Japan and some other countries. If you have a multi-system DVD player, this will play either NTSC or PAL DVDs, and you should also buy our PAL DVDs and PAL/NTSC DVDs.
Most US DVD players are multi-region, not multi-system, and you will need to buy our NTSC DVD-Rs and PAL/NTSC DVDs.
Some early DVD players would not play DVD-Rs. If you buy a DVD-R from us and it is not compatible with your DVD player, we will provide a full refund, including your postage.
Postage and packing charges
Not only are our postal charges some of the lowest in the UK, we don't charge any extra to ship DVDs to any destination worldwide.
The more DVDs you buy in one order, the lower the postal charges. Buy four or more and there is no postal charge at all. Buy five or more and we'll add Special Delivery or Priority Airmail at no extra cost.
That's great value!
- 1 DVD ~ £1.50
- 2 or 3 DVDs ~ £2.00
- 4 DVDs ~ Free Delivery
- More than 4 DVDs ~ Free Special Delivery or Priority Airmail
