Does anyone know where I might be able to get a copy of this? Either on VHS or DVD? Thanks

I don't think it was ever on DVD. I have the VHS at home somewhere.

You could try the library:
The Australian Bicentennial Air Show [videorecording]. - Version details - Trove (http://trove.nla.gov.au/work/5863960?q=subject%3A%22Air+Show%22&c=music&versionId=6807907)

Can be found by scouring op shops, all sorts of unlikely places.;)

I flew up from Melbourne for this. The aero club members at Schofields ran the ground operation (marshalling, mini buses, tea/coffee, information booth..) like a well oiled machine-very slick and professional. A very different story from Sydney Buses in conveying people to Richmond, but what else would you expect :hmm:.

Although the Roulettes were great to watch, Kiwi Red in A4 Skyhawks stole the show with the best aerobatic display I have ever seen. A real shame that they don't have much of an airforce these days.

Cost over $380.00 for return cattle class airfare from BN.

Super long shot here - does anyone know the names of the flight crew who displayed the F-111 A8-126 at Richmond in 1988?

Also, who was the narrator for the VHS? The TV broadcast had a presenter who narrated, but the 90min VHS had a narrator only and he sounded very different.
