Wondering about the attribution of this film to 1971. The BEA Speedjack livery was on a BEA Helicopters S61N I flew on from Penzance to St Marys and return in May 68. Did red square last into the seventies?

Until the age of 9 I lved on the Beechwood estate in Horsforth with a rear garden backing onto Trinity and All Saints College. The (then) 33 approach and 15 climb out were in full view from the rear of the house.

There was a period when Viscounts in BEA Red Square livery were sighted regularly if not frequently. I seem to remember reading somewhere that when the V806 Viscounts were being transferred to BKS BEA leased them and kept them under close observation.
