No matter - it's all grist to the mill.
BTW there is another video around showing the way it shouldn't be done - the infamous Transall crash landing blocking the runway at RIAT and mucking up the display.
Meanwhile, I have posted some clips of a non-av type on the Off Topic section... more experiments in musical entertainment.
See also my post about Ray Hanna tribute on BBC news.
The Red Arrows have flown over a funeral in tribute to one of the pilots who made them famous.

From an old F'bro show when the Beeb used to bother... 2.5 mins on the 146 when it used to be made in the UK... nice plane but I have never been on one for shame.
Plus a C17 vid.

In the 50s Roly Falk rolled the Avro Vulcan at the Fboro airshow. Here is a video to prove he really did this.
I wonder what the biggest plane to be fully rolled was/is? I saw the vid of the 707 but that was a barrel roll. How about a C130 or B52? No, surely not.

Intro sequence showing a variety of major performers at the Paris a/s a few years back.
Good stuff Roy, that clip of the rolling of the Vulcan is great!

Mind-boggling that he would even think of doing it in public. Shows what a great plane design it was. One of my faves BTW.

That was one hell of a roll! I wonder how much altitude he lost in that manuever.

Not enough to make recovery difficult it would seem.
"Several spectacular Farnborough appearances followed, including a full roll at the 1955 show (try that in a B-52!). Falk had actually rolled the Vulcan on returning to Avro's Woodford base after a previous Farnborough appearance - that time he did it so low and so noisily that he smashed all the skylight windows in the assembly building!"

Another great British aircraft shows how it's done. Another bomber, this time we see the Martin B57 barrel rolling at low altitude.

I see a dozen downloads and still no one can drop a note of thanks.... tiresome and making me less keen on bothering any more. Season of goodwill? - bah!
Good video Roy, although not as impressive as watching the Vulcan roll it is still impressive. It managed to loose an awful lot of height as well, not something you want to attempt at low level.
