BTW, wasn't there a video of the Silver Swallows done for RTE with the Top Gun tune by Berlin "Take my Breath Away" in the background...anyone know if its posted anywhere?

Thx.

I have some great footage from Fairford 1997 on DVD - internal, unedited video footage from the lead aircraft (looking back at the leader) and from behind my seat (No. 2), and also the final edited package also cutting in with footage from the ground.
Unfortunately I'm on a narrow-band dial-up, so I won't be able to email it, but I could get a copy for someone if they're interested.

Fox 2,

I'm very interested in the footage.

Is it possible to get it to "Clog Country" ??

The DVD is in the post to Frank. He'll do his magic with it, no doubt. My favourite bit is the opposition pass. Don't blink!

Thanks Guinness.

I have been hanging around for a while...it's a great list with some great folks - hat's off to Frank.

By the way Frank, as you probably know, if those clips are just way too long or big for your site it might be an option to upload to something like video.google.com...

Hi Guys,

Yes there was jkennedyie, I think it was shown around 1989/1990 as part of RTE's coverage of the Baldonnell Airshow. The footage as far as I can remember was shot a few days previously at an airshow somewhere in Ulster.... I recall it was a great piece of footage..

Hi Guys,

As you might have guessed I'm a bit slow in getting the DVD edited, lack of knowledge on the required software & lack of time are not helping either.

If any of you guys are interested in getting a copy of the DVD please PM me so I know what kind of interest is out there, it's probably quicker for me to copy the whole DVD rather that editing sections.

Please contact me soon, it's nearly air show season and I'll be spending most of June & July at air shows around Europe and my time will be limited!


Regards,

Frank.

Hi, all for any of you watching this thread I have found the '89 video of the baldonnell airshow. I thought I threw it out years ago. I am working on putting on the pc and then I will probably post it on youtube I'll post again when I have put it on.
