But "Distractions" is almost like the real day to day running of a Squadron. Bar the Pilot killed and the Chief Tech (whom were actors Ian Redford and Edward Clayton), the rest of the actors speaking where pilots and groundcrew from 54(F) at Coltishall, to situations that would actually happen. The scenario played out a decade later with the death of Greg Noble whom crashed due to distractions on his taxi out. It was a flight safety film also, not a recruitment one like the excellent "12 Sqn Buccaneers"
