In the mid 1990s, most of the freight that passed through Coventry’s night-time freight hub transported aboard vintage propliners. Including Vickers Viscounts and at the time, the world’s last operational Vickers Vanguard.

The frenzied, nocturnal, propliner activities which took place from this humble, ramshackle rural location. It captured by aviation videographer Henry Tenby, during several visits in 1995 and 1996. This show features 116 solid minutes of ear-piercing Vickers Viscount and Vanguard Coventry action, with lots of start ups, taxiing aircraft, landings and take-offs, and engine shut downs. Professionally filmed up close (with tripod) on the apron at Coventry, during busy night-time freight operations.
