Seemed an odd time for the Hunter blue note - thought had to be fast and low level
Yes, I never forget seeing and hearing a Hunter of 20 Squadron doing a fast overflight at Kai Tak in 1968, producing that amazing noise. A lot of onlookers holding their breath as he hurtled towards Lion Rock then pulled up at seemingly the last moment.

But now I have a copy of High Flight on DVD, which is of much higher quality than the rather washed-out version showed on Talking Pictures TV yesterday. A pity that they didn't use a better copy.
I heard an item on the radio where the bloke who owns the station was saying that he is always on the lookout for material, and even buys cine film clips from ebay. He may well be interested in a superior copy.
