I wish airshows were still this great, 2 x Vulcans!!! Those were the days

1987 ?. I think I remember the weather being not too good.

I always loved the Mildenhall air fete I am so blessed to also spend most of my working day there too. ❤❤❤ the crowds were really fantastic and the planes and burgers were brilliant. The burgers to this day still taste the same.

I we

2001 was the last show there I think, I went

My late father took me to many air shows with the Sea Harrier always the star so thank you for the memories.

Thanks for sharing! I went every year from 1979 to 1998, so many happy memories. Amazing aerial and static displays. The aircrews and pilots were so friendly and always happy to talk to us. Those AMAZING burgers (I've never had as good anywhere since!) and the retained ring pulls on the drinks cans - long before the design was adopted in the UK. Funny how an upload like this brings the memories flooding back! Nothing comes close nowadays.

I was there 😊👍

Best airshow by far , used to go every year by coach from Stoke , BRILLIANT.

Sweet

The great days of airshows with so many different types on display.

What an amazing video, really bought memories back !. I went to milldenhall early 90s, can still smell the aviation fuel and taste some of the best American hospitality, food, beer and got to see the Vulcan.

I went to this airshow. Seeing this brings back fond memories!

Volcan😢

I attended many Mildenhall shows in the 80’s, in the days before excessive health and safety ruined airshows. The catering at Mildenhall was always great and entrance price reasonable, unlike today’s rip-off prices for what are few and inferior airshows nowadays.

Probably already stated somewhere earlier, but that’s the great Captain John Hutchinson of Concorde fame. Check out his 1986 tv program on Concorde London to Washington DC hosted by Noel Edmonds

I remember the 70s and 80s when you could spectate *under* the flight path, smell the fuel and feel the warm blast from the afterburners as they did a high speed pass over your heads at very low level and then a vertical climb literally over your heads and having to look up the tailpipe. One of the tricks was for an inital high-speed low-level approach from nowhere, that woke you up after watching a bi-plane display. Happy times. Younger spectators now have no idea what it used to be like, pity.

Brilliant video, many happy memories made there with my Dad at the Air Fete's.

wow, 2 Vulcans. I don't remember this.

Think the Bucanneer was taken at Boscombe

Way to young to have seen this spectacle I would still love to see these fly today, the only the jets we see are the f15 and f35a still engineering marvels

Amazing footage !!!

Sincerely appreciate all the positive comments!

Commentator sounded like John Hutchinson, Concorde pilot?

Vulcan? Blackbird? Lightning aerobatics? We never knew when we had it good

The F8 and lightning footage was filmed at Fairford in 1987.

What a find. 1984 was the one and only time I went to Mildenhall airshow. Well organised one way system to get in/out. Remember a lot of car alarms going off.

I was at the Classic Pair Crash in 1986

Do you have a complete clip of the starighters arriving?

Long live the SR71 blackbird and the other cool aircraft at that time ❤❤❤

40 years on the F16 still doing the business

Great footage my personal favourites…The Lightning and the Starfighter.

I was enjoying this until the bloody music started! WHY WHY WHY?

i was there somewhere on my brothers shoulders

this is brilliant

Back when air displays were really really great

good to see Avro Vulcan B2 XL426 in flight. she is cared for at Southend airport just up the road from where i live. wonderful video reminding me of the 4 Mildenhall air shows i went to 86 to 89. i fancy a beer and a burger now.

Brilliant! I was lucky enough to have been to all the Mildenhall airshows. They were something else!

Brilliant video. Air shows back the day were awesome with the aircraft flying so close, unlike the crap we get today where you need binoculars to see most of the display.

That F8 display is definitely Fairford

Brilliant Airshow👍😊 I went many times in my youth I will always remember the f4 phantom crackling overhead 😊

Thank you for sharing 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Some real beauty's there. Nice 1.

Those burgers were the best ever.😂😂

I was at the Mildenhall Air Show, great day out ❤ the burgers were the Best, Fabulous

Oh for the days of Mildenhall. The Vulcan XL426 still does taxi runs at Southend Airport.

1984 was my first Mildenhall. Went every year until 1995 with the exception of 1986. Like everyone else, miss the jet noise, wet burgers and the cold Buds.

Much better than the so called airshows Duxford now hold.proper flying display.

Do you have the whole Mildenhall '84 tv show? I have been looking for it since I was 11 and I'm now 50!

Thank you, I attended Mildenhall airshow every year with my then teenage sons. You got the whole car load in for £10 with an included illustrated calendar. They were brilliant days out and fond memories were formed. That Vulcan XL426 is maintained, in ground running condition, at Southend airport in Essex.
