Yep
I was in it, just.
It followed a bunch through Henlow to Linton, Valley and on to Brawdy, OCU and the front line.
I went through Cranwell and joined the same course at Linton, then went Valley, Lossie (2 TWU) and on. My photo can be seen in the book of the film peering intently at the innards of a Viper engine at Linton, Apr 1979.
I believe the only guy who made it all the way through the path the film crew followed to the the FJ front line was Rob McRea, who went on to fly Buccs in GWI, not sure where he went thereafter (so technically no fighter pilots!).
There is a VHS video of the whole series somewhere.
