Bristol Freighter in action

[VEGAS]

Hi all,

not sure if this has been seen before but came across this on FL350. A lovely bit of restored 8mm cine film from 1963, featuring Garry's baby. Enjoy!

Thanks Eddie

I posted that on the Freighter thread a few weeks ago but some may have missed it. The clip is part of an Avion video

Also I put up this one that's unrestored but shows a flight in a Mk.21... rare, as although Silver City operated 21 and 32 (they did not have 31's) the 32 are usually the ones that make the rare apperances

So there really was such an aircraft :think:

Indeed there is Dan. If you can stop yourself being 'tight'.. pop over to Avion and buy the rest of that DVD (Independent Airlines from the 1950's - 1980's). You'll see a lot more of the old girl ;-)

...Also on that DVD, lots of the even more ugly-but-fascinating Carvair.

Talking of the Carvair...I posted this a while ago

I wonder if the rate of climb indicator is just marked yes or no :roll:

The Into The Blue film looked familiar to me.......then I remembered this site where you can download good quality films such as this one...all free as they are out of Copyright and in the public Domain. Do a search on the site and you will see plenty more gems to download. ;-)
