Video of Breitling Fighters at EHTE

Dear all,

I finally managed to find some time to re-edit the video I made of a 2 ship formation of the Breitling Fighters at EHTE on august 16th 2003, and put it on YouTube. It was a display of the Spitfire and the Corsair during the Ladies Cup. I had to add some music to mask the background noise (wife and children). Hope you like it.

I remembered that I also took some still pictures with the 1Mpix camera of my Sony camcorder. Just found them on a back-up CD and cut the pilots out. Quality isn’t very good (of course), but maybe this helps the identification proces.

Judging by the yellow helmet i’d say 434 was being flown by Ray.

At a guess, I would think that the pilots were Keith Skilling in the Corsair and Lee Proudfoot in the Spitfire. I was doing some part time work at Duxford that Summer and they seemed to do most of the “pairs” work as opposed to the full team of 4

Hi GliderSpit, great piece of formation flying & great video, music suited it too. Do you know who the pilots were ?

Thanks. No, I don’t know who the pilots were. I actually hoped to find it out this way.
