Pure nostalgia and, as one comment below says, a reminder of all those Airfix kits we all built!! And doesn't the old BEA colour scheme look good? We all miss the Vulcan - best display aircraft ever: big, loud and manoeuvrable, with that great howl!

Some of the best of aviation. What we had and gave to the rest of the world! For me vulcan & e/l lightning way ahead of their time &if we're still flying would pull more crowds than most modern machines do today. What a thrill to watch 9 lightnings take off in formation and climb to the heavens in no time! 1500mph fighter from 1950s, not bad for an old gal, and a damn shame the younger generation not to be able to witness it today. Old pecker, now living in france and regularly being buzzed by mirage's and rafael's. Thanks for the memories guys.

A whole bunch of aircraft which failed to find markets in any serious numbers. Today (23) the industry is greatly reduce to making components for other manufacturers and they haven't even included the Trident!

7:16 University students were so committed to their academics back in those days. Bringing their study materials and books with them onto the air field, and choosing to finish their readings before admiring the deafening roar of a /very/ low altitude, overhead Vulcan flyover.

What a great film thanks for sharing. I was a child growing up during those glory days of 'Great' Britain, my planned carreer into our fab RAF straight from school. Is it any wonder kids from that time were so interested in the world around us, 60 odd years later I still have a passion for aircraft and flying, my interests pre teen were flying, sailing, shooting, camping, Adventure, all outdoors, God we were lucky, sad for kids today.

Have a close look at the Royal Navy seahawk formation. Seven a/c took off and are shown doing aerobatics however only six land. At the time I was an engineering apprentice with BEA. I was watching the formation and they were a few miles fairly close to Blackbush airport when I saw one a/c left the formation and as I watched the pilot ejected and as I found out later landed safely.

Just like to be a bit of a spoilsport and correct the "health & safety" theme in the previous comments. The only people allowed forward of the crowd line and up to the edge of the runway were 'professional' photographers with prior written approval. Having said that, it seems that anyone with a claim to be an aviation publisher and a 'letter head' could easily get such approval. The only justification for such a dangerous practice seems to be that most 'professional' cameras in those days only had a short standard lens. The final year of the film, 1959, seems to have had some sanity restored.

I REMEMBER going to the air show at the Air Force base in our city ( B-52 base ) Those years 58 or so and watching the British delta wing bombers doing the same passes over us !!! back then they were "BEYOND COOLEST " planes in the world !! I still remember the adults going nuts when they came over like that ! AIR shows now are a joke compared to back then , well you see how fast and low they went !

Back in the mid 60s as a kid, one day I was looking up at the clear blue sky looking for aircraft, and spotted a very high flying delta wing aircraft. I lived at the time in Harefield West London, so normally it was usually only civil and light aircraft I would see. But this plane didn't look like an airliner to me. So I rushed indoors to get the binoculars, and looking straight up, I identified it to be a white Vulcan bomber. It must have been flying at around 25- 30,000ft at a guess, on a flight path NE to SE. That was quite a catch for me, as a plane spotter. I'm sure there's not many aviation enthusiasts, that can say they've seen a white vulcan bomber. Happy days!
