The theme for the event is aviation and the movies. With this in mind, what would the perfect airshow include in the display to make the most of the oppurtunity? Ignore budgets!..........

Like the 1950 Farnborough Airshow, and the French film Jericho, a recreation of Operation Jericho where Mosquitoes and Typhoons attacked the Amiens prison walls. The 1950 airshow had Mossies but no Typhoons, and they tangled with Spitfires painted as Messerschmitts - I'd like to have seen that. My friend was there. So was TB863 Edit - Download the footage free of the real raid and a little of the 1950 airshow here www.britishpathe.com/product_display.php?searchword=amiens |

I reckon get all of the RNZAF Hueys and some private Hughes 369/500's (painted in drab) and do a recreation of the"Apocalypse Now" helo attack. With loud speakers, play "Flight of the Valkyries" !!
Now, THAT would be something awesome !!!
