Upcoming Phantom DVD by Wattisham Startion Heritage Museum

Post by Tim Holden » Fri Oct 17, 2014 1:22 pm

Back in the early 90's my friend Callum won an RAF competition at a village fete. As a result he met some of the aircrew of 74 SQN and this resulted in his family getting a ringside seat on base at RAF Wattisham for the last years of Phantom operations. Luckily his dad was into videography and captured loads of footage from on base. Callum is now a volunteer at the Wattisham Station Heritage Museum.

He is putting together a DVD to help them raise funds. As you probably know they are trying to raise enough funds to aquire a Lightning. As I understand it the DVD will have a guided tour around the Museums Phantom, some of Callums footage and some in cockpit footage courtesy of Wing Commander Mark Mainwairing who was the Nav for the final year of Phantom displays. Here is the trailer for the new DVD.

Callum is the guy doing the Phantom walkaround in the trailer (ladies..... he is single). He is a walking Phantom airframe encyclopedia. When I have some release dates or more info I will post it here.

Excellent, that's a must for Phantom Phans!!!
Are Wattisham still hoping to get Lightning XR713 for their museum, as it appears to now be heading to Brunty with the LPG?

Both aircraft types are beauties!!!
