Don’t know if its been posted before but here’s a couple of vids of a T28 Trojan doing low passes

Nobody mentioned the Throat mikes!
I flew as a cadet at RAF Woodvale, then years later I was living in Formby, next door to Woodvale. On the final day of the Chippy squadron at Woodvale (Uni Air Squadron) there was a formation fly round for about 15 minutes. 6 chippies IIRC.
Bulldogs followed the chippy but only seemed to last a year or two. They have some other sort of small trainer there now.

I also flew as a cadet from Woodvale both mainly on Chippies aslo on the Bulldog. The aircraft they fly now is the Grob 115e Tutor

Ok thanks, I wonder do they have a monument of some kind to her at Squires Gate?.
Regards Phil.

Theres is no statue or memorial to Amy Johnson at Blackpool that I know of. But there is a road named after her (Amy Johnson Way) as the entrance to a major retail park on the airport site.

On the same thread the original 1954 ‘Dambusters’ film had a couple of sequences that may qualify. On the way to the dams there are two 10 second clips of the three Lancasters on the starboard side where the camera ship (think it was a Varsity) seems very low, as the Lancs are slightly above it and the treetops etc. can be seen at the bottom of the picture. I remember when I first saw the film twenty odd years back it impressed me then and still does now.:cool:

IIRC the Lancs in The Dam Busters flew at only 30 – 40ft off the deck as the director deemed the original height of 60ft to high to get realistic shots on camera so he told the crews to fly lower.

Some would argue that PV202 and the emerging PL983 are effectively flying memorials in themselves.

Not to mention MH434 which to me is kind of an unoffical memorial to Ray and Mark Hanna

I’m afraid most, if not all modern jet powered airliners fill that category. How I wish Constellations and DC6’s still plied the passenger routes:)

I agree there, especially since the retirement of Concorde. Aside frome the jumbos they just all look the same.

Watford had some trouble with the audio synch at the start, but it seemed to settle quickly and I did n’t notice it latter. I was surprised by the diversity of the audience – young kids, OAP’s and more ladies than my wife would have expected! There was considerable consternation when the ‘N’ word came up -it really did seem almost embarrassing to hear it.

It cannot remember seeing on old B&W film at the cinema before, but sitting near the front made up for the lack of widescreen, and you really could count the rivets! I had forgotten many of the one-liners – the bomb aimer saying how dangerous low-flying was! And Lincolns in the background, but I missed the Canberra.

A thoroughly good evening out – only spoilt by the the guy infront with a long lens sitting on a step-ladder 😉

Much the same here in Portsmouth regards the diversity of the audience. The only technical issues we had was a few shaky shots particularly in the air to air shots and at one point I swear the projectionist kicked the projector as the picture nearly jumped off the screen. The dogs name got no reaction here too.

The Canberra is in one of the scenes with the Mossie prior to the test drops
