Absolutely superb - even the Lemon Jelly soundtrack works well with footage.

I think most aviation enthusiasts would have preferred to hear The Avons' soundtrack.

Better than the usual Top Gun, Guns & Roses or AC/DC soundtracks that accompany many aviation vids

Once i had encouraged Oliver to get out (Bribed) I got in, then i didn't want to get out!!!!

theres something about being in a lightning and looking over to another one sat next to you

but then this was something else:

Andy said, just get the ladders and go up to have a look :-o

so I did

Sorry to hijack the thread!

Do many people know that 458 is being converted by the team that look after her to electric start?

Makes a lot of sense ~ it worked pretty well on the industrial Avons.

Apparently, several Hunters, as well as the Avon engined Comets, had electric starters fitted.

Me, I preferred to hear an AVPIN start or a cartridge 'shotgun' start.

That was because I had an expensive camera in one hand, what's your excuse? :-o

Yeah, the idea is that engine starts go from about £100 down to 50p or so.

Proving that electric really does beat cooking with gas. :))
