This should be the One-Eleven landing at Brooklands

I can't check it as it's taking over ten minutes to open any pages here and after 20 mins the vid had not even started playing

Something seriously wrong with our local net connection atm

I've seen footage of SYD landing at Brooklands mate.. just can't remember seeing it on the VHS vid Jelle mentioned. Not had time to check my VHS copy or the 'new' DVD yet but I know she stopped 'in good order' ;)

Hi mate :hello:

I know you've seen :lol: it and it's been posted before but I added the link as there was mention of it here...for completeness as they say :)

I've completely lost my internet connection :'( ...the reason no doubt for the problems above

It's not the provider.

So all I have is this flaky mobile connection :worried:

No need to check the VHS Dave, my brain was not in high gear and I somehow added the 1-11 even though I did know that it was not on the tape. The VC10 and Vanguard are though. I've had my tape transferred to DVD a while ago so its easier to get out and check.

The video Garry posted is Andy's footage of the 1-11 landing, quite impressive! It landed on the shortened runway, just as the Vanguard did.
Due to shortages and cutbacks the light at the end of the tunnel has been switched off.
