A fantastic video. I was stood very close to where you were filming from also. Watching this brought back some good and some sad memories. Thanks for the vid. 🐒
I grew up in Bramhall - close to the border with Woodford - lived there is the 1960s & 70s. Often saw Vulcans taking off after maintenance work. Walked to numerous air shows at Woodford - saw the Concord 001 prototype 4 weeks after it first flew, Vulcan, Victor, Lancaster etc. Used to occasionally see gliders launching from Woodford. Now I live in Germany & have over 1200 hrs on high-performance gliders!
Good one. You must have been standing quite close to where I was at one point - that's my bike against the fence at 0:11 - although I walked a bit further up towards the golf club for the actual pass. Great experience.
RichardB1983 yeah was a nice couple of fly pasts,, shame he didnt rag it down the runway at a lower altitude for old times sake. Also thought he might have done a wing over for Woodford... Yeah you must have been close, we walked down towards the golf course afterwards and realised probably would have gotten better footage from the fairway less fencing and barbed wire =S
pains me to see woodford like that but to see the beauty return ...thank you for the post
