Flying Legends 2005 DVD - Description
Flying Legends at Duxford is one of the world's greatest annual airshows, featuring the very best Warbird pilots flying some of the most famous aircraft in aviation history. Of course, DD's cameras were there to film the whole two day event in glorious widescreen and digital stereo, with cockpit minicams to give you a real pilot's-eye view and exclusive interviews with the Warbirds pilots. Highlights include the 'new boys' - a beautifully restored Curtiss Hawk 75A-1 and the P-51C Mustang Princess Elizabeth, plus the last Saab B-17 and the gorgeous Lockheed 12 Electra. Other highlights included 8 Spitfires taking part in a spectacular tail chase with 2 Hurricanes representing the other Battle of Britain hero; 2 Corsairs flying with a Skyraider and Sea Fury - and 2 Boeing B-17s and 2 B-25s flying a very rare formation. And finally - because it was the official VE Day Commemoration Weekend - on Sunday afternoon the crowd were treated to the breathtaking sight of the London Flypast taking off from Duxford to salute the fallen from 60 years ago.
