Lovely vid, thanks!

Its amazing how glossy she looks! :flying:

[Garry Russell]

That looks like perhaps it's the inaugral or something similar

BOAC aircraft were usually clean at least from normal viewing distance .

Just the way it's all posed up with set planned camera positions..just had to be something special especially given the bulkiness of equipement in those days.

Both absolutely brilliant

The sound of the second one brings back Leuchars '00 or '01 (I think) when at the start of the airshow, After the Tornados were up, a '10 under the callsign 'Texaco 01' 'scrambled'. As the ground and my eardrums shook and the smoke appeared, it appeared and was airborne like it had chilli paste up it's jetpipes, and WAY up in about 50% on the runway length, I could not believe it :o - in fact it was off the deck quicker than the Tornados !!

A sound that can't be beaten and of course they all look superb!

Cheers for those links

I love that Garry. Does that sound like a real jet or what

It's difficult now a days with smoke free jets that sound like a stuck organ to appreciate the power of the engines.

Lot's of noise with added supersonic cackle and a smoke trail now that's a proper engine who cares the power numbers are less
