I for one saw it as an air cadet on the PR days one saw in the Squadron calendar in 1980. Virtually wanted to be working on dynamic aircraft post seeing that film as a career. Still working on aircraft 42 years later, having seen a Bucc Sqn detachment as my first ever RAF det. Lots of others would likely say the same.



Will quite happily agree with you on that one. A lot of the tracks killed when I got the "Themes" album at Wittering in the very early 90s with the other famous scores he did.



Bob Langley of Pebble Mill fame did it in very early 1980/81. The Vangelis track for the theme tune was "Chung Kou". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3md77gRW1nQ
Cat Techie,

I’m very grateful to you for digging that link out, I haven’t seen it for 40 odd years, little did I realise that I’d sail there myself in 1982.
