The one I think you are talking about is " Nothing to do with me" It was filmed on 20 and 4 sqdn pans at RAF Wildenrath circa 1971/2. RichardO'Sullivan was the only professional. The rest were the groundcrews and other ranks from the station and pilots off both squadrons. I was watching from the line hut when the Harrier taxied out. It got held up by Herman the German driving the runway sweeper. When Herman move out of the way. The aircraft went straight onto the runway just as the F4 was about to touch down. It was a big shock because nobody told us what was happening and we thought it was for real !
I have been trying to find this film for years and would love a copy for the Harrier Force re--unions. Last attempt was a couple of years ago at a 4 Sqdn re-union. Even our finest pilots have failed in the quest.
