I managed to find this video on-line; made by the Shell film unit, it's a fiften minute review of the 1951 Farnborough show, there's a bit about Zura's Cartwheel a couple of minutes in!
British Pathe - HIGHLIGHTS OF FARNBOROUGH 1951 Also, although not on-line, but well worth a look is DD Video's "Classic Farnborough the 50's", a seventy minute tape covering the entire decade. again the '51 coverage has Zurakowski's take off and cartwheel plus a steep recovery and dive out to a low, fast pass down the runway. All in all, a very good nostalgic tape, well edited and with only a little irritation caused by "dubbed on" piston engine noises to some air to air shots of jets! Oh yes, and a high speed pass of Neville Duke's Hunter that looks a lot like a Swift to me! You can still find a copy of this tape on amazon or eBay (and maybe it's companion issue covering the sixties as well) Classic Farnborough - The '50s [VHS]: Amazon.co.uk: Video |
SincoTC,
Thank you muchly, that's the one! When you saw you hardly believed it and that is only the third time I have seen it so it brings back some happy memories. Some manouvre. Some pilot! |
Interesting video!
Incidentally, the Bill Mason whose name appears as co director in the opening credits is father of Pink Floyd drummer and pilot Nick. |
