Orchestras and Aeroplanes

Went to a Summer proms concert at Weston park last night that was opened to a montage of WW2 movie theme tunes with an accompanying display of a Spitfire (Mk 5 I think) flown by Flt Lt Charlie Brown. Superb entrance, Charlie could be heard running in during the opening bars of Battle of Britain which, if you know the tune, are quiet and low key, and then arrived in the display area just at the point the music changes to the more upbeat tempo. Brilliant choreography, or pure fluke though I prefer to believe the former.

Anyay, I recall one of these Proms in the Park things being done at Lyneham in 97/98 ish. Anyone remember it, what it was called and if any video or DVD of the night is available.

Thanks.
