Classic Fighters Marlborough DVD Box Set

This four DVD box set features ALL the video from the first four Classic Fighters airshows (2001, 2003, 2005 and 2007), and comprises a total over over 10 hours worth of great aviation action!

Engine Only Soundtrack: As with many of our DVDs, one great feature of three of these disks is the ability to turn the narration and interviews OFF during all of the aircraft display sequences so that you can enjoy just the sound of the aircraft and their incredible engines.

Classic Fighters 2001  

This disk highlights the inaugrual Classic Fighters Marlborough airshow held at Omaka Aerodrome in Blenheim, New Zealand at Easter 2001.

Having run several very successful warbird 'fly-in's in previous years (1997 and 1999), the crew at Omaka decided that the next logical step was to create and run a full-blown airshow. The result, seen here on this DVD, was an airshow that stunned visitors with it's range of aircraft not seen before, and the impressive ground thattre reenactments, which had not been previously seen in New Zealand.

A bonus 15 minute segment entitled 'Flight Of The Bristol', which is not on the original VHSversion. This is the entire World War One 'Ground Theatre' scenario, viewed from the on-board cameras of the Bristol Fighter F2.b.
