Andy Parsons live gives us his opinion on diet [sorry no video but he's on form despite the over-frequent and unecessary use of the f-word IMHO].

This was an experiment, took the camcorder along to a gig where such things are verboten (spoil sports) and left it recording just to capture the audio. Works reasonably well.

Lots of things geting blown up by air-delivered bombs - it is something that dated back to WW2 and not peculiar to the Gulf War.

Beautiful plane taxis out - sad sight since they no longer fly in the UK.

Get a gander of that bazooka!

One of the most interesting series in aviation history was the X Planes develeoped in the US in the 1950s. This shows several of these including a nasty crash landing from which the pilot survived but the plane looks in bad shape.

Motorcycle racing at Brands hatch with Barry sheene Brit GP from ages ago - also stars Keith Huewen one of today's best motorsport commentators. Commentating on this 82 race was Murray Walker.

The Hillman era with lots of actors now long gone one way or another.

Beverley Turner ex-F-1 ITV - see what she has ended up doing now she's left those jokers at ITV. Read her book which spills the beans on how horrid they were to her and the crapola that really goers on behind the scenes at F1.

NASCAR Montoya car disintegrates

Massa has a go - pole position, in a Sauber!

Coulthard chugs around while Martin and James 'Capt Spanner' Allen ponder on why it's slower than the Williams... wonder what Hammy would have been like in this gen of the Mac.

Formula 1 at Monaco with Jackie Stewart et al.

F1 - the amazing one-off six wheel Tyrrell P34. Driven by Patrick Depailler this special car was a Ken Tyrell innovation. So as to provide as small a surface to the air as possible (frontal area). To do this, Tyrrell designer Derek Gardner started by reducing the diameter of the front wheels to just 10 inches (25cm) so they could be tucked completely behind a front fairing. To my surprise it was not the first 6-wheel racing car. Web info: http://www.f1nutter.co.uk/tech/6wheels.php

F1 Monza Qualification

F1 Monza Qually Cont'd

F1's Damon Hill, Johnny Herbert, et al., qualifying at Monza with Murray Walker and Martin Brundle having to improv while the tiffosi await the first car onto the track - watch and wonder why they changed the qually format and how much we miss Murray. Why oh why can't they drop Allen?

F1 Spa 1997 was one of those most eventful races of the 90s. The big crash and Schumi's 3-wheeler. Watch and listen to the after-race comments from the drivers and 'experts'.

Hawker Hunter at Farnborough

One form the archives, old coverage of the BAe 146 STOL airliner at the Farnborough airshow.

Starts with some fine footage of the Blitz rocket-assisted take-off and skid landing, then some first generation SAMs. Then Speer relates his dubious views. Climax of the clip is a nice surprise so keep watching right to the end.

An old TV extract showing Me 262, FW190, Meteors and B17 tho not all at the same time. Sir Stanley Hooker pontificates on the state of play in his inimitable stoic style.

An old show with the arrival of Concorde viewed from the flightdeck and externally. Then another delta feature with a black and white film of the Avro formation and then Roly Falk rolls the white Vulcan. Awesome.

A show from IWM Duxford the 'Wheelbarrow' controlled explosion then a Conqueror tank crushes the car.

MiG 29 Fulcrum at Mildenhall Air Fete

Hawker Hunter take off.

Cluster Bomb - dubious continuity in this one... see if you can spot them!

British F3 at Castle Coombe kicks off with Ben Collins crash flip - this guy is rumoured to be The Stig. They are interviewed by the gorgeous Amanda Stretton.

Sadly this machine is no more. Lucky to see it on a museum visit a few years ago.
