Peter Burton's Air Displays.
United Kingdom
Registrace 9. 02. 2022
I filmed these air displays during the 1980s and 1990s on my Panasonic M5 video camera. They are poor quality by today's standards, but I think they are worth sharing with you. The M5 used full size VHS tapes, I have copied the originals onto DVD and then uploaded them to CZcams, so some quality has been lost. I have 39 air displays to upload, It started with RAF Coningsby in 1988, and finished with the RIAT at RAF Fairford in 1996. Sometimes the picture is a bit shaky, due in part to my bad technique and downright excitement!!! I did add music to some films, but most of this has been deleted by CZcams because of copyright. Sorry for the silence.
During 1991, I purchased my first scanner (AOR 1000) so there is some radio comms included in the sound track.
Favourite airshow was of course the Mildenhall Air Fete, sadly gone from the calendar. Hope you enjoy the collection.
The TV news clips are of my Buccaneer cockpit section XK527, which I restored over 10 years. Filmed in 1998.

Nice to see Fred Grundy first season on the F3,Two years later he flew the Rasperry Ripple ZE907 50th Anniversary Battle of Britain jet,Great memories,Thanks
Great to see the F-111E again,Loved to watch them with binoculars running along the beach at Mablethorpe on there way to RAF Donna nook range,Great memories,Infamous UH on tail,thanks Great video.
I thought that was the display black/white Tornado F3 from Leeming,Flown by Archie Neill and Jim Brown of 25squ,They did a display then returned to Leeming,Great video,Nostalgia personified.👍🇬🇧
Wish these were still at coningsby,Better looking aircraft than typhoon in my estimate,I loved the F3,Great video,Base was busier then too,6 aircraft took off yesterday on night ops,Lakenheath do that in 10 mins,Nice to see Flt lt Gerry Goatham in his red tailed display jet,Saw it at Air fete at Mildenhall brilliant.
Nice to see.. good memories 😀
Good old days of the Mildenhall air fete,went every year,both days from 1984 onwards,Brilliant days,never did get a reason why they stopped it,Waddington too,Sadly missed.Apart from RIAT the British airshows are rubbish in comparison,Absolute rubbish.
They were fantastic Airshows
Omg ive got the official VHS of the 92 airshow
Parking on base!
Very different time and a very different USAF and RAF. Great to see. Thanks for this.
The Canberra heading out is PR7 WT509, solved a long held question that it did indeed fly with 39 sqn after it was transferred from 360 sqn at Wyton.
We used to take this all for granted!
Thanks!
As a North Wales lad i never missed the Valley airshows and this video takes me back to when you could actually see the aircraft up close without a yellow vest and a hard hat. Can't go to an airshow without binoculars these days.
I attended a couple of these airshows at Upper Heyford back in the day. They were great events, thanks for the great video footage
Really found memories spending my childhood at coltishall definitely miss it it was the best base for viewing the jaguar and visitor's
Thanks for this up load very much enjoyed .regards 😊😊😊
Used to love the Abingdon airshow
I wish we had this big and noisy veriety at airshows these days. In comparison todays shows are very dissapointing
Very rare that I get to say "I was there!". But I was there. Fab that someone recorded it and uploaded it. I'll only have photos, as I didn't vid back then, but I really must upload a slideshow sometime.
I ID'd the MiG-29 within two seconds . . so, so proud of myself.
Thanks for sharing, great footage. I loved serving at Coltishall in the early '90s. That perimeter fence though, it begged trespass didn't it.
I went to this airshow On that day went in a helicopter flight around brize Norton with no doors on
Thank you for posting this video! I was 9 when I was at this show and it brought back so many wonderful memories.
One of the many airshows I would go to each year during the eighties and nineties.Devastated when the base closed.,airshows are not as varied with different aircraft these days and also cost a fortune to get in!Thanks for the upload.👍
Is that a Rolls Royce with the bonnet up at the start? Not broken down I hope. It's amazing how the BBMF has grown over the last sixty years. Let's hope it's still with us for the next 60 and the bean counters at the MOD don't get their way.
Thinking back to those days whoever thought the UK and the world would end up in todays mess. We couldn't stage such a display now by not having enough serviceable aircraft or even the money for the fuel! I remember the Finningley displays in the 1960's which started with a four ship Vulcan QRA launch and finished with a mock battle with ground attack with pyrotechnics and more. 100,000+ spectators were common and one of the biggest bars I've ever seen in one of the hangers! Halcyon days.
The days when I used to keep Kodak in business... I was there.
Many thanks for sharing! It's interesting seeing how it has changed since then!
Sure I was there on the Saturday but all remember was rain! - but it did stop because I think there were two static Blackbirds… always preferred the Alconbury shows
I was there. Tornado F3's newly delivered 5 From 5 Squadron and a Lightning on static. Stored F2's on the South side. How low was the Phantom display? Sadly, too low later in the year at Abingdon, as they failed to pull out of a loop on the Friday. RIP
The RAF blew that Dam open
I was at this airshow ! As I remember sallyb was still in here Memphis belle film colours and had a bit of engine trouble at the start of her display did one circuit and landed😢
Still a very busy airfield with excellent public viewing and also home of the BBMF. The Just Jane Lancaster is only a few miles up the road. You won't see the variety of aeroplanes you used to but those Typhoons are always worth watching.
I was actually at that very show, remember the su27 russian knights, well impressive and the best vulcan display I ever saw, noise set off all the car alarms in the car park! the sally b was also a highlight. Thanks for sharing this vid, brought back lots of memories.
That was Abingdon's last airshow as an RAF station. Happy to say I was there.
Thank you for up load enjoyed regards 😊😊
great memories Mildenhall in the 80's was awesome
Museum stuff 😏 ?
30:50 one of the best fly-overs I have ever seen.
that was a fanatstic Airshow the last one i went to was 97 & i think my first was 1980,such a great range of fighters & bombers etc back then,ill never forgot the SR-71 displays what a beast,ive got loads of old airshow vhs from Lakenheath,Mildenhall,Woodbrigde,Bentwaters,Alconbury & Upper Heyford still love watching them,great work Peter putting the Airshow on here a joy to watch & greart memories
Thank you for this . Brings back some happy memories . Loved mildenhall sadly mist ❤😊
Wy so few thumbs up some one has taken the time to up load this. I thank you for bring this to me regards😊😊
Loved going here as a kid. Was a big venue back in the day
that was a great Airfete,fanatstic display by the F-14 & sadly one of the last by a RAF Phantom,i beleive ive sill got the VHS & programme in my collection,great to watch & great memories
Brilliant film, expert cameraman! Favourite parts are 24:35 onwards with the old EC135 steep takeoff and then the Nimrod steep turn after takeoff - that wingtip looks very low! Vulcan at 1:46:30, B1 at 2:00:00 and B52 at 2:03:00!
A proper air display!Not the same these days all the same aircraft from different countries.Thanks for the memories.👍
Happy Memories from the Phantom era 😊
I was there to.went to all the shows . Sadly mist .😂😊
Thank u for up load 😊
brilliant video, great piece of history there and nice to see. in cornwall i use to see jets regularly screeching overhead with absolutely no warning as theyre silent til on top of you. i use to see them then quickly cover my ears as the noise was terrifying! i enjoyed the experience though and would see them often in the 80's. i remember one day i was in the back garden and a jet flew overhead, it was quite close and i had about half a second warning, you could see right in to the cockpit, the pilot with the mask on and everything before the ground and air ripped with terrific thunder. never see that now. it was an interesting time.
