Video showing SAF-01 a clip from the Swedish Air Force's film sent to me by the F8 Wing Association at Barkarby airfield, Stockholm.   This was shot during a visit to Barkarby by the 93 Sqn Fleche d'Or, the official 2ATAF formation aerobatic team and the solo 2ATAF aerobatic pilot Ken Goodwin in Sep57.   The F8 Wing had 60 Hunter Mk.50s from 1956 to 1962.   The clip opens with a flame and then a shot of Paddy Minnis climbing into his Hunter.   The team are then seen taxying out.   Shots from Ken Goodwin's solo aerobatic display with his signature negative G manoeuvres follow.   Then the formation team are seen taking off in box formation.   There are several shots of the team in box and Draken formation.   Spectators are seen outside the hanger and after a few more manoeuvres the team are seen to land in box formation.   After taxying in, Paddy Minnis and Taff Taylor are shown climbing out of their Hunters.   There is then a line up of, left to right, Ken Goodwin, "Clam" Clayton-Jones, Sqn Ldr Paddy Minnis, team leader, Geoff Timms and Taff Taylor.   The final shots are of the team talking to the senior Swedish military hosts.

There is no sound with this clip.   This clip runs for 2 min 58 secs.
