Congratulations
and hats off to Just Planes for this DVD! This one
is in my top 10 favourites at least in my growing
collection. Okay first off this program is unique.
The Shorts Belfast was an aircraft that was rare
to see and from what I heard is not flyng anymore
at least not for Heavylift. I loved the intro.
The music, approach and landing clips were
phenomenal. I felt like I was on the grass at the
side of the runway. Also in the cockpit you gotta
love the deep moan of thos Rolls Engines. I must
say the cockpit was unique too as it seems there
were two sets of throttle quadrants for both
pilots. The departure out of Paris was quite nice
and we got to see some very well known sites from
the air. I can only imagine how heavy that crane
was to transport, I was impressed big time. This
airplane's beauty to me is seen in how its built
like a tank. One unique aircraft, one unique
program, its a must in any aviation enthusiasts or
pilot to be collection.

Having
been on that Actual Aircaft many times whilst on
cargo ops at Birmingham, It was good to see it in
action in other parts of the world, Great DVD, A
must for anyones collection. Dave

Living
near the airport of Le Bourget, I often see the
take-off of that impressive aircraft, and now with
that video I can board into this monster.
I particulary love the first sequence, a
flight starting from Roissy CDG, with a sky
full of clouds and some rain showers. Imediately
after take-off, the Shorts Belfast overfly the near
airport of Le Bourget, with very detailled views,
then after the left turn for departure, all
remarquables monuments are spotted by the camera,
Le stade de France (soccer world cup
1998), Eiffel tower and La Defense complex.
The Belfast realy comes from another century, watch
the panel ! only gauges, no modern display, and a
crew of three is just enough to control it. Loading
procedures sequences are very
instructives, and I also apreciate to discover
flights over spain and Africa deserts
areas. Yes, this DVD differs from
others. Enjoy ! Thierry

Although
flying high and fast is always fun, it is a nice
change of pace to slow down a bit. With "HeavyLift"
you're a little closer to Mother Earth. And, by
traveling a little slower you get to take in the
sights. The departure from Paris, the trek across
the Spanish Desert, the approach into the Canary
Islands and the Northwest African coastlines are
breathtaking! Keep up the great work. Ted

As
a former Flight Operations Controller for
HeavyLift, and having worked with the Belfast and
the crew members, I found the DVD to be as close to
the experience of the Belfast without actually
being able to be there. I always loved to hear the
sound of her 4 Rolls Royce Tynes on taxi home.
Great to see, and would loved to have seen more. A
real MUST BUY. Wayne

I
am fascinated by the Heavylift Shorts Belfast DVD.
I can't stop watching it!! Thanks to Just Planes
and Heavylift for creating what is now the only way
of experiencing this unique beast of an aircraft!!
I love the noise of those Rolls Royce Tyne engines
and the amazing views of Paris, not to mention the
other outstanding scenery. This DVD is a winner!!
You MUST by this piece of history!! I look forward
to more outstanding programs. Mark

A
great video of a great - in every sense of the
word! - aircraft. The engine noise was not much of
a problem, and hardly intrusive. An excellent
production which I am pleased to add to my
collection. Roger
