Video showing CS-05 a clip from Chris Stone's film taken when 93 Sqn were working up for the Wing Flypast for the AOC's Inspection - Thu 5May60. The clip opens with shots of Hunter F.6A XG272 on the 93 Sqn hardstanding in front of Hangar 4. There is a close up of Chris Stone's name on the side of his aircraft. Next there is a shot of Brian Butterworth in 93 Sqn's Operations Room as he walks past Chris Stone reclining on the Ops Desk and then showing Mick Ryan signing for his aircraft. If this is the right day it was when Mick acted as "Whipper In" to marshal the shape of the flypast. He did not fly on the actual day of the inspection which was Tuesday 10th May 1960. Next we see the 93 SqnHunters starting up, taxying out and taking off. There are then several flypasts in four vics of five aircraft each. It finishes with a single still taken of Chris Stone's low-level aerobatics display.
