Unlike the final days of steam railways, the passing of working propliners seems to have gone largely unrecorded. So, we're very grateful to John Tansley for capturing them on video during the late 80s and early 90s.
A few years ago, avion video digitally remastered and enhanced the best of John's material and produced two programmes Big Props Europe and Big Props USA.
Now, re-released on a double DVD set that gives the best possible picture quality at a great price - far cheaper than buying the two videos!
Here are the highlights from both programmes.
