Due to the miserable weather this weekend I stayed in and dug through some old VHS tapes of stuff recorded off TV in the eighties, and watched these, most of which I haven’t seen in the over 20 years since they were recorded:
The full series of Test Pilot
Mildenhall ’84 (presented by David Icke and Fern Britton!)
Farnborough ’86 and ’88 (I don’t think some of the new things they were
exhibiting will ever catch on – fly-by-wire airliners, satellite navigation systems that you might one day be able to use in your car!)
Biggin Hill ’88 (I think)
And still to come on another miserable weekend (if the tapes actually contain what’s written on them) are
Holiday Air ’87
Finningley ’87
Army Helicopter School
The Aeroplane Goes To War
The Wright Bros
And these are all from back in the days when there were only 4 channels! With all the channels we have now, there must be some aviation stuff somewhere.
