Transferred from tape to digital format. Displays includes TR-1A, Buccaneer, EC-135H, VC10 C1, RF-4E Phantom, Gannet AEW3, F3-A Sentry, Shackleton and some others. One that was not recorded is the SR71 if I can recall it was due to fly on Saturday but had technical issues and flew on the Sundays display. I filmed on the Saturday and did a walk around with my SLR on the Sunday. The battery life was not good on the betamax camera, even with having 3 batteries on the day I could not record all displays.

Thanks for sharing this . It’s great to hear the commentator Roger Hoefling again, he did most of the big shows back in the 70’s and 80’s like Greenham Common IAT and the Mildenhall Air Fetes .

Thanks so much for uploading your great old airshow videos (Mildenhall & Leicester in particular). It really is great to re-live these classic old shows once again. You seemed to get pretty much most of the Saturday show recorded here including one of the rare times a VC-10 did a 'proper' display routine anywhere! Brilliant stuff. I recall the SR.71 did a fairly gentle routine on Sunday compared to it's previous Air Fete displays in the years before. Maybe due to the technical issue on the Saturday perhaps. Mildenhall is probably the most missed show of all the shows no longer running. Sigh!!!...They where the days!!! Thanks

Thank you for the positive feedback, Uploading Air Fete 89 soon but the camera lens is showing signs of decay (not dirty) but shows up more in digital format.
