Man that page did a number on my vid card... That is the first time that Windows 7 has ever thrown me the blue screen of death! I would love to see it but not gonna risk going back. Hopefully it is just me and not something dark and insidious...

Sorry about that! I works fine for me. Still, here is the youtube version:

Live Leak says the video was filmed in the Netherlands, Zaandam, Noord-Holland, this year.
However, as a bonus/penance, while I was looking for a youtube version, I came up with this one that was definitely filmed last year at Duxford:

The old blue screen! Man, I haven't seen one of those since I loaded up Windows 7. And I don't miss it.

Gents, what we have here is a vision, an insight into a conflict nearly two generations gone. And we, sirs, are some of the few who are willing to appreciate the beauty and the horror, the suffering and the triumph, of that conflict. :salute:
Keep 'em flying!

A squadron of spitires overhead,
an awe inspiring sight.
Memories of freedom for some and terror for others.

I was lucky enough to experience a 12-ship at Duxford during 'Legends of the Air' (5 Merlins, 7 Griffons). Fabulous to see (and hear) that my total has been well and truly shattered. Keep 'em flying, and keep the memories alive!
