Silver Jubilee air show at White Waltham 1977

Post by Archer »

I hadn't seen this one before. My main interest is the bit starting at 2:44 minutes but the whole clip is certainly worth watching!

I cannot claim credit for having found it, but I'll certainly help get it some more views! I've added it to the page about the airframe, it is good to have the whole story together with photos and the video! :thumbsup:

That Mossie did its best to keep the grass trimmed, that's always good ;)
