Just came across this old 8mm film on YouTube.

Nigel.

Thanks for that Nigel
Bet they were cheesed off when they saw the print with that hair on the film.
Strange mixture of aircraft.
That's the first time I've seen a Pembroke take off, on film.

[Garry Russell]

Me too

Come to that.. you don't see many Vikings captured on film

Thanks Nigel

The day-glo paint on the Pembroke really shows, eh? Nice video.

That Eagle Viking, probably in the late '50's....my father was Chief Inspector with Eagle at Blackbushe in those days!
Obviously a very early IT trip, quite a thing back then!

Nice film...I see the poster enquired as to what type of freighter was being loaded with the turbine engine....I reckon it was a Hastings myself so posted a comment for him but not a lot visible to go on but that was my guess.

That would be my guess also.
