DISPLAY VIDEO

As Roly Beaumont said, each crew was given a copy of the BBC coverage of the Farnborough Show. It was obtained by dubious means from the BBC archive. Although it shows the whole of the formation display (about 10 minutes) it does not show the best part of the Navy’s display which came first and involved a (simulated) rocket attack by the Vixens and then a bombing rin by the Buccaneers followed by a helicopter assault by the Royal Marines, all accompanied by fashes and bangs worthy of Spielburg. It would not be allowed in todays safety first world. It is too long to put on the web as I only have a slow dial up connection but I could send a DVD perhaps.
