Holiday Air '87

Simon Groom and John Hutchinson present coverage of the Royal International Air Tattoo at RAF Fairford in 1987.
Warning: outbreak of sexism at 11:56. The context for the interview at 14:18 was the restoration of an airworthy Bristol Blenheim, which first flew in May but then crashed at an airshow in Denham on 21 June.
The appearance of Frecce Tricolori (from 57:17) is poignant as the display team was involved in the Ramstein disaster a year later; Captain Ivo Nutarelli was the solo pilot on that occasion and was killed.
Transmitted 9 August 1987. Preceded by a trail for that night's programmes. Sadly the end titles are curtailed.

I was on that Concorde! I was only 12, what an experience. Never forget, thanks to my mother!🥰

Thanks to you David, for downloading this footage, today I went Areospace Bristol, to see the Concorde, and thought of looking up on KZbin, and found this. I did look up years ago and no luck. I did have a cassette, recored on VHS recorder in 1987, but lost it over the years. Again thank you David. 🥰👍🏻
