What an amazing video! Thank you for sharing.

Two comments though: at 0:33 it's a Shorts Belfast of the RAF and the formation at 2:18 includes a Nimrod, rather than a Comet.

Nevertheless a wonderful document. I feel sorry for the spectator's ears ;-)!

Thanks a lot for the suggestions. I updated the description.
I saw that the landing gear was not the one of a C-130 but I was not able to recognize what it was!

Unluckily the original reel has not sound ;-)

Best,
Ruggero
