Warbirds and Weather Vintage Cine Films
A collection of 9.5mm and 8mm Cine film and VHS films from the 1950’s to the 1990’s. My Grandfather, Robert Wilson (1920 - 2004) was an avid home movie maker, aviation enthusiast and Weather Forecaster in the RAF and UK Meteorological Office.
I have inherited his extensive film collection including films of family life, holidays, overseas postings to Bahrain and Singapore and many air shows including the Strathallan Collection and East Fortune (now the National Museum of Flight, Edinburgh).
The films are shared here for family and friends to enjoy, and are also publicly available to share.
