A Film - 'The B-52 Bomber Barons'

Post by XR221 » Tue Jan 23, 2018 9:37 am

A film that I put together from footage shot from the public side of the fence last Wednesday 17th January and public domain USAF video and photo's (fully credited as required). I recommend watching it with audio and hope that forum members enjoy it - https://youtu.be/JEFrv8Twto8

baz1 and Geoff - Thankyou for your kind words and support and for enjoying the film. baz1 - yes, it took the most part of a weekend (off and on) to put together but was well worth it. Hopefully the next deployment will give an opportunity for a film covering another type of aircraft, although Buffs are always good?
