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

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. ;)
