Great find Garry
The first -- well we know who's Biffo and Carvair those were -- Im amazed old man Hawkins didnt show up in it.
The weather makes you wince doesnt it??
The second -- Im almost tempted to go and find that film - Im guessing it was NZ made .

Hi Nigel
I've never see that Vietnam fim but did once catch the end which was about a third of the way through that sequence.
So I was plesed to see the rest ans as the films show they wern't quite the lumbering lump that popular reporting gives.
At times they could be quite sprightly but it was a big airframe for a twin so that did make it look slower...........especially as they flew across the airways at altitude.
