Is that the trailer from the CWHM DVD? (Can't access youtube at work) But it did more than whet my appitite for the full version

I eagerly await my copy of "Retunion of Giants" in the summer.


Also, some background from the production company:

Brilliant footage and really looking forward to this coming out in the summer the film crew were a great bunch and the short time I spent with them you could see their enthusiasm to be creating such a documentary.

When you see the dvd, I expect it feels more personal to know you spent some time with the crew

To be honest just watching the trailer makes me realise how important the occasion was. At the time it just felt like a busier time at work.

Of course the real work was done by the full time staff and engineers keeping the 2 incredible aircraft airworthy and overcoming the engine difficulty with VERA.

I'm buying THAT!
I was at RAF Conningsby on the day she arrived and was fortunate enough to be in a field next to the new bomber command memorial in Lincoln when Thumper III, VeRA and Vulcan XH558 came over and it's a memory I shall never forget!

So what they sending this year then??

I wouldn't normally buy something like this but the BluRay is definetly getting ordered. Hopefully a mainstream broadcaster like the BBC show it first though.

I'm no spotter, but I was there when she arrived, I watched her first PDA test flight with thumper, including the lowest flyby I've ever seen a Lancaster do, I sat on the mound and watched Vera, Thumper & XH558 fly over and my kids managed I see it all with me, let alone my own lifetime, it's probably the only time they will ever see anything like that!

Great to hear Morgan again such an enthusiastic character, I had the pleasure of assisting the crew last summer at Eastbourne and at BBMF so I will be buying a Blu Ray as soon as its out.
