+++ In May 2021 this channel was rebranded from AVZINE to AidanEyewitness +++ • ++++ ALERT - FACTUAL ERROR AT 4:00 mins - In the text 20,000 fighter planes both the number and 'fighter planes' are inaccurate. Please substitute simply 'thousands of aircraft'. ++++ • Many thanks to a Canadian-based historian who pointed this out for me. • This is the English version of my visual podcast on the history of Gander Airport. Gander is located in Newfoundland in the far north east of Canada and North America and has a remarkable history. • Please activate the subtitles in English and German by clicking in the lower right. There is also an German version, look our for the links in the top right during the video. • This podcast is inspired by a very interesting ZDF documentary I saw on the documentary streaming service Curiosity Stream. Then I found that someone had put the German version on YouTube. I watch • The documentary is called in English ‘The Airport in the Middle of Nowhere’ and it was directed by Roland May. • I found the story of great interest, because it deals with the ups and downs of the the aviation industry in the post war years, as well as the intrigue arising from the Cold War. There is a link via Gander between East Germany and Canada, which I hadn't been aware of before watching this documentary. • I was so taken with the story that I wanted to tell the story in my own words, using English and German. I wrote the script in German and then from that I produced the English version. • The story about the East German couple is fascinating and thought-provoking. I've selected some very interesting archive public domain images and I've used some photos of Gander Airport in recent years, courtesy of Gander International Airport. • In this video I present my new airport-themed channel ident and concept. I present the introduction and conclusion sitting in my virtual editorial office overlooking the airport. It's not real of course. I have created it using the magic of Photoshop and Final Cut Pro. I will give more information about the background to the channel in other videos. • • CREDITS: • Cover photos • Satellite image of Gander Airport -from NASA World Wind / Public domain • Photo of Interflug Ilyushin 62 aircraft by Maarten Visser • Capelle aan den IJssel, Nederland / CC BY-SA (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/...) • Taken from Freesounnd - freesound.org • 27583 Canada Geese - Genghis Attenborough - • 67884 Lake Waves 2 - Benboncan • 83325 DC3 taxiing outside - Figowitz • 110737 Super Constellation flypast - Doubletrigger • Boeing 707 sound courtesy of cargospotter.com (YouTube) • From the YouTube Audio Library • Doug Maxwell - Breathing Planet • HanuDixit - Distant Lands • JesseGallagher - The Anunnaki Return • Quincas Moreira - Dance of the U boat • Tracktribe - Tall Tale • • The recording of a Boeing 737-800 landing at Manchester Airport was recorded by Aidan O'Rourke on the Roland Edirol digital audio recorder.
