I have been trying to get hold of a copy of the video that was shown on TVAM during the 1st Gulf War; played to Phil Collins "In the Air Tonight". I was hoping it would be on YouTube by now, but no joy. Has any body else had any success finding it?

I asked about it a few years back when on a course at AWC, but was told it was still classified and not releasable as a take-home-to-enjoy vid.

AA, I also tried unsuccessfully months ago when there was a thread here.
Can you please PM me if you have any info on how to get hold of a copy.

Thanks

You never know what you're gonna get!

If it was shown on TVAM, how can it be classified - even Restricted?

There are certainly a few familiar faces in that video. Well before my time though!
Ah good times.

I seem to remember at the time there was one version for "public consumption" and another done for the boys who took part.

The second version could well be RESTRICTED!!:E

The video that's being discussed is about 45 mins long, and has plenty on it that was never aired on TVAM, though I very much doubt it was ever Restricted. Not publicly available, but not classified.

Update

I've just been checking the figures - this has raised over £3,000 for the RBL, plus the tax rebate from Gordon/Alastair.

Well done all :ok:
