General Aviation / Re: VHS Video Footage - Local ...
Last post by causeway74 - Mar 02, 2026, 13:05
Another batch of uploads today with some behind the scenes footage and other flying segments from the UAS open days at Langford Lodge in the late 90s, early 2000s. I'm sure some of the members on here may have attended.

Great to see the military helos like the Wessex/Puma etc.

Would love to track down more camcorder footage from anyone that filmed local aviation in the 80s/90s.

As most will have noticed there have been some issues with the website recently. Basically it is running at the edge of what my hosting package allows and as such when it hits those limits you will see the error messages. This isn't the only site I host so at the minute I'm trying to reduce files, processes etc to see if I can make the site more stable. If not I'll have to look at upgrading my hosting package.

I've deleted the site archive for now.

Apologies for any inconvenience caused but please stick with me while I try to rectify this.

Sorry guys. Seems to be an issue with my hosting account. The number of processes I'm allowed is being hit regularly now. This is causing the issues. I've managed to reduce them slightly so hopefully the issues won't be as bad. However I'll have to look at upgrading my hosting package to see if it will eliminate it completely.
