That managed to get through an awful lot of concrete, good video Roy.

Extracts from a TV doc... Kestrels, early RAF Harriers and up to the SHAR with RN F4s and Buccs too.

 

[Gnomey]

Good video Roy, good footage of the Harriers in particular.

 

[Royzee617]

Another clip from the sequence - sorry about the line across the top, shows that there can be faults with video tapes too... don't get these kind of faults with DVD (just different ones).

 

[Gnomey]

Good video Roy, interesting footage again.

"Www2 tank ammo cooking off" on GV - not sure what type this is... not sure it is even WW2. Maybe it is a Leopard or something... whatever the case it is a spectacular sight!

Good stuff Roy, it looks really cold where they are testing the A-380 although it looks to be going well.

 

[Royzee617]

Continuing the Harrier doc - more footage of the development and use of the mean machine and other less successful VTOL approaches.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

very nice, i nust say it is quite funny watching it hop around like that

 

[Gnomey]

Yep, very cool. Good video Roy.

 

[Royzee617]

Last in this sequence for now shows some more highlights from development. Some more crashes in the early days, nice flying backwards sequence and then in USMC. Again apologies for the line in the video.

 

[Gnomey]

Good video Roy, I liked the backwards flying sequence.

 

[Royzee617]

Lancasters tomorrow!

 

[Gnomey]

Look forward to it.

Here is a video I made a different way.

It's from a TV doc. I recorded it on the DVD under the TV as a 5 min clip then ripped the disc on the PC, converted the vob file to avi then converted that to wmv... and there I was thinking I had a shortcut compared to the usual plugging the VCR into the vid card making an mpg file and converting that... but maybe the quality is better...? Difficult to tell with the old footage.
8 megs which lasts about 3 mins... it's a bit gloomy at first but goes colour. Interesting commentary from 'someone who was there' about Schrage Muzik. This is more like how TV dox should be made! That said I would prefer them to concentrate a bit more on how the plane itself performed and evolved. The coverage of the Tallboy raids showed some footage I had not seen so keep coming back next week...!

Good clip Roy, interesting to here what he had to say.
