Brilliant if only we had this now and an aircraft industry

Born and spent 5 years in Lossiemouth before Pompey. My dad was on the Bucks at the time. First time I’ve seen this. Great memories.

That Fairey Fulmar is probably the only one left. Probably didn't fly in the airshow. Got to be the one in the Fleet Air Arm Museum today. Airshows were so much more interesting back then.

Brilliant, so many formats and configurations of aircraft and engines in the same place at the same time, we do not see this nowadays.

I grew up near Lossiemouth air station, they had an annual air show day in those times, and my family would always go. I was probably at this show. I was fascinated seeing all the military aircraft in the skies of Moray then, coming from and going to RAF Kinloss, as well as Lossiemouth. Nice to see some of those aircraft types in this film - Hunters, Sea Vixens (very noisy), Lightnings, Buccaneers, Starfighters, Argosies, Mirages (I think), Vulcans. I can also remember seeing Canberras, Shackletons, Gannets, Victors, VC-10s, Phantoms, American F1-11s, later on Harriers, Jaguars, and Nimrods. The Red Arrows were always the highlight of the show - it was almost frightening how fast, how low, and how close together they flew. Happy memories.

Must have been an air or sadness in the air as the Government had by the time of this film announced the plan to get rid of the carriers, and so end fixed wing aviation for the RN. The VStol carriers were then no more than a paper ship planned to be helicopter escorts for the carriers and thus also effectively cancelled.

Yep we ditched the carriers too soon Now we've finally got carriers I fear their days are numbered due to advances in missile technology

I wonder if the fulmar and the hellcat were at Lossiemouth in the 60’s before transfer to Yeovil?
@foxonefour3 жыл бұрын
There was a Hellcat and a Sea Fury at the main gate at Lossie more or less until the RAF took over in the early seventies.

This can't be Lossiemouth - the weather is too good.

Great stuff. The "snowflake generation" should be made to watch this, and listen.

Is that a Wyvern ?
@foxonefour3 жыл бұрын
Not a Wyvern. What I think you are confusing it with is a Fairey Gannet as both had nose mounted engines with contra-rotating props. All Wyverns were withdrawn from service by 1958.

The music is contemporary. Those of us who know, know.
