There that got you looking! Looking at my local BBC news I found this interesting piece on the fourtieth anniversary of the Hercules, which has some intersting Bristol Britannia footage: http://news.bbc.co.uk/player/nol/newsid_6920000/newsid_6925100/6925154.stm?bw=bb&mp=wm&news=1. The old style RAF chaps are also pretty interesting! It also brings home the realities of Mr Blair’s foreign adventures.

Although not strictly historic aviation, there is another interesting BBC news video on the C-130 today as a part of the fourtieth anniversary celebrations at RAF Lynham: http://news.bbc.co.uk/player/nol/newsid_6920000/newsid_6926900/6926938.stm?bw=bb&mp=wm&news=1. Given that they often overfly my house at very low level, sometimes in formation, heading down the valley it is interesting to see the view from the air (although not unfortunately of where I live).

Yes, Bristols are nice, but I’m more of a Double Mamba man myself…:D
