Much appreciated this stroll down amnesia lane.

Picked up a 'War Movie Themes' CD some years ago, with all the afore-mentioned on it. Partly puter-rendered but still matches up with the scores on my B.o.B copy.
Have to agree with the 'Mosquito Sqn' comment.. absolutely abyssmal.

Here's one for you.

Early 80s (?) doco following a pilot intake, 'Fighter Pilot', from Cranwell to Valley, had a succinctly period flavour to the music, synthesisers. Still, a sharp melody, evoked the youthful vigour and enthusiasm of this group's new direction and fitted in well with the from-the-cockpit sequences of the FTS Hawks.
Was it composed specifically for the programme or one of myriad stock tunes used in broadcasting?

633 film score still sends shivers up the spine

Another.
Serial English TV programme, 60s..? 70s...? Set in WW2, obviously. Opening credits accompany a panning shot over your usual picturesque country manor, then camera catches a lone Spitfire beating up low, taps open, to barrel roll (?) over manor and exit, stage right. I think a young lad watches the whole scene.
What was the programme?
