Here's the Hangar Vid - Its a 43Mb MP4 so you'll need a Quicktime plugin or similar for your browser.

Thanks Keith and Rich for pinning down the music for me, I’ve now downloaded a copy from i-tunes.

Rich, I too still have a VHS tape with this on, however, I no long have a VCR.

I seem to remember the original documentary being interspersed with a number of other aviation articles. In particular I recall an air-to-air refuelling sequence involving either a VC-10 or Victor tanker and some Tornados. If you’re able, I’d be most grateful if you would upload this sequence, as I’d love to see it again.

Hi Alex,

Yep - leave it with me. I hadn't noticed that wasn't part of the links above as I only clicked on the first one to see if its what I thought it was. Now you mention it I remember the VC-10s, a little thing on air racing on the isle Of White, and some guy who had a flying boat operation in Australia. Hopefully I can do it by about mid-week.

Cheers

Rich

What a lovely film that is..

I'm left feeling terribly sad yet immensely proud with goosebumps and the hair on the back of my neck standing up :rock:

One of the nicest bits of film I've seen :thumbsup:

How the hell did we get to refuelling Hercs on a Concorde thread Tony :think: :lol:

I don't think Mr T likes refuelling Hercs much. They're at fullchat and he's borderline stall :lol: Seriously.. I think their transfer rate is slow so it's b1oody hard work. Most other things are refuelled at around FL200 but Mr T will give gas wherever it's needed. Not sure what the limit is for Hercs though :dunno:

Those clips are excellent. :)

The music in the opening sequence of clip one used to feature in BBC's 1980's episodes of Record breakers during the challenges in the show. I always wondered what it was called as I loved it. Now I know!

Thanks guys. :welldone:
