There were 2 guys doing 'official' airborne video for the UK TV news pool during GW1 - Stroppy Jock in Bahrain & Stocko in Dhahran

There were 2 music videos made, 27 mins in total. I made & distributed many copies to guys from 17(F), 617 & XV(R) sqn and anyone at Lossie who asked. Those that know can now probably guess my identity!

Bahrains had Phil Collins, Whitesnake + ??

Sky's version from Dhahran had Huey Lewis & the News, George Michael Freedom and a couple of others. They added Bette Middler, Wind beneath My Wings as an afterthought.

I have a Sky TV News original, 1st generation copy as I worked rather closely with them & also have a 1st generation copy of the TV AM Bahrain Bits.

Because of a close, personal interest, I have most of the rest of the original material that was taken. No-one seemed much interested at the time.

Unfortunately I am in warmer climes and it's all in storage. I hope to get it out in ~Summer 05 when I shall try to get it all onto digital once I can get my video capture card working in the UK

Hope you guys can get the DVD or wait till then

Sorry I can't get it now!
