Or would that be the true life series set on HMS Ark Royal; started off with a Buccaneer at sea level heading straight for the the ship then rotating into a zoom climb.? Sorry could have been called 'Sailor' after the Rob Stewart theme tune.
It was a Phantom, not a Bucc and using "Sailing" as the soundtrack was a stroke of genius
It was essential viewing for us at the time, but, interestingly enough and for reasons I really don't know, whilst there are various clips on YT, the full opening sequence shots have never been available...which is shame really.
As for the programme in the title, I thought it was interesting and informative... hence worth watching.
