• British Civil Aviation -Imperial Airways The Definitive Newsreel History 1924-1939 | DVD | (27/06/2011) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £5.99

  This is the definitive celebration of Britains first national airline Imperial Airways. Imperial Airways were the forerunner of BOAC BEA and the British Airways of today. In 1924 the British Government amalgamated many of the complicated array of pioneering small British airlines into one company Imperial Airways. Original newsreels give us a fascinating and detailed insight into early operations from Londons first airport in Croydon - At first the passengers flew in comfort while the pilot still sat in an open cockpit! By 1926 there were whole fleets of airliners and new flying boats were commissioned. Amy Johnson arrived from Australia in 1929 and by 1930 the new Handley Page four-engined airliners became reality. Pioneering is dangerous - as the R-101 Airship crash proved to the airlines. Imperial Airways even experimented with a radio link between The Flying Scotsman and one of its aircraft. Imperial Airways flew the first car and even transmitted Jack Hylton and his band live from the air. Throughout the 1930s Imperial Airways kept expanding throughout the Empire over to Australia. We spend 24 hours in Sharjah and witness a nasty crash at Croydon!

  Nominated for the 55th GRAMMY Awards as Best Surround Sound Album 2012 HOFF ENSEMBLE consists of some of Norway's finest jazz and session musicians, fronted by trumpeter Mathias Eick, of ECM renown, who plays a leading role in several of the compositions.

Hoff has performed with his own group since 1993, collaborating with such artists as Mike Stern, Pat Metheny, Maria Joao and Alex Acuna. This time in this great Norwegian band he mixes flavours in a "cross-over" setting.
