Important update regarding streaming video
We have 21 classic airliner action DVDs on the Vimeo streaming platform, with more planned to come. Vimeo recently decided to discontinue the streaming platform that we then used, from 20th November. Existing Vimeo customers who have purchased streaming videos will not be able to access them after that date.
We have now moved all our current streaming videos to Vimeo’s new platform. You can access our streaming videos via the relevant video pages on this site. Simply click on the Vimeo logo you’ll see there. Not sure what classic airliners are featured? Click here to see our videos sorted into various categories. You can buy permanent access for only £6.95 or three days rental at £3.45.
We will now be making every effort to contact Vimeo customers who purchased streaming videos on the old site, to offer them free access to the same products on the new one.

Avion Video DVDs
We stopped selling DVDs directly some time ago now, but still get requests to buy them. As we have some surplus stock and can also manufacture new DVDs from the original masters, we have decided to offer the Avion DVD range on eBay, in the UK, at the reduced price of £12.95 including postage. We’re using eBay as we no longer have our own e-commerce platform. So, on each video page on this site, you’ll find a link to the relevant DVD item on eBay.
Please note, the DVDs are in the PAL TV European and Commonwealth format. eBay will quote for shipping worldwide, but Customs duties and tariffs make exports outside the UK an expensive process. Rent a streaming video instead and avoid this issue. Our streaming videos will also play worldwide.

Enjoy classic airliner action on video.
For thirty years we created high quality programmes on DVD, featuring classic airliners world-wide.
There’s no music, except over some title sequences; just high quality authentic sound. An informative commentary enhances each video, but never interferes with the action or the sounds you want to hear.
For two decades, we had airside access to bring you close-up views from around the ramps and right alongside the runways. The result is a catalogue with some of the best classic airliner videos available today.
We also go back as far as the 1940s, using digitally restored cine film and video to create some wonderful classic airliner programmes, all with accurate authentic sound.
What are our favourites? Difficult! How about BOAC and Pan Am Stratocruisers in colour at London Airport? Restoring and flying on a Boeing 707 from Australia to Manston via Cairo? The history of the Vickers VC10? Fabulous big prop action plus wide-body freighters in Alaska? Kai Tak filmed airside, from a helicopter and from an A340 flightdeck? Vikings at Blackbushe? Flying with Air Atlantique on a DC6 and a DC3? Airside at Heathrow, with loads of 747s, in 2005? DC7s and Super Connies at Miami? Vintage Ringway? Just some of the highlights from our classic airliner videos
Most of our programmes have a Factsheet listing all the aircraft featured. These can be downloaded from this website.
