Fantastic video capturing the HAAF. Please can you contact us?

I was at Middle Wallop for this display but back in the late 1960s I was actually stationed there while I was training to be an Air Tech with REME. Later posted to Detmold and other places.

Honestly this just boggles the mind its nutz..just the sheer noise seems like armageddon has commenced, especially them lynxx's...them powerfull twin rollers and burp blades really make them rotor bearings scream for mercy..

Compared to now , this is great footage of some old stock from Campbell road bridge . Brilliant stuff . Thanks for sharing , keep up the enthusiasm work for this fine hobby

My father was one of the pilots in this approached at Wallop airfield but I can't remember if it was was 90-92 or 96. They were parked up behind Danbury ring in the fields. Awesome sight. 👌 looking back now wish they had done a low rush for the crowds and passed overhead. Wouldn't happen now.

I was ground crew at Wallop in 96 🙂

They did more or less the same, rising from behind the hill in 1986 at the 50 years spitfire meeting

Superb video. Tough questions need to be asked of the politicians as I bet these days as a country we would never be able to get anywhere near this number of helicopters up at once. Retiring loads and loads of older things and replacing with them tiny numbers of new things.

Looks a lot older than 2000

When i was an as90 gunner i used to just think of it as a job . Now when i watch it as a civi it make the hairs on my neck stand on end realising how awesome that job was

Fantastic. The B1b is still the only aircraft that has ever made me stick my fingers in my ears!

I was there, thought it was my bad memory turning 10 helicopters into 100, but damn it really was a lot, very impressive.

did they rise from behind a hill

Glory days! Think still holds record for biggest helicopter display ever? Makes all the hard work getting them all serviceable at the same time worth it!

that old train is the 450

I remember this - forgot how many there were, shame you missed the very start where they rose from behind the trees on the hills in the distance

That's a lot of Gazelles and Lynxes

I remember attending this event, I would probably rate this as one of the the best days out I've ever had! Shame I only had a stills camera with me. There was an official video apparently, but never managed to secure a copy. Would be interested in obtaining some more footage of the live fire event, if anyone has some and is willing to share. Hopefully they will run them again one day!

The day I was born

I live in wiltshire and went to a few of the artillery days in the early 70's and a schools careers day when they did live firing. I think they stopped due to security reasons and the IRA troubles of the 70's. Never knew they held any of them since then. As a lad we could hear the whoomp of the distance big guns going off nearly every day and see flashes at night when night firing went on (I live 20 miles from ranges) - since the 70's it has got very quiet. I presume the cost cutting means lots less live firing

2 years I spent with AAC were best of my service. Didn't have babies like those though. Scout Sioux and Allouette II

Unfortunately cut up in September 2009.

wish they still ran 57's on liners good video

What happened to 47358

I was here when i was TINY and still remember this!

Lots of good locos

This brings back find memories - this was the first time I went to the airshow. I was 11 and my dad worked as an engineer on the base. Watching these helicopters live is breathtakingly spectacular. Other highlights I recall are the Crunchier plane wing walkers, The Little Nellie copter and the harrier jet display! Thank you for sharing!!
