There was a series of shorts made by the Rank Organisation called 'Look at Life'.
One of these was about 214 Sqdn doing the early tanker trials. A very young version of yours truly was featured
There was a special showing at the Marham 'Astra', but this happened while I was on leave and I never did get to see it.
If anyone knows if/where there might be copies of these shorts archived I would appreciate the information.
The Look at Life series seems to have been acquired by a company called Video125. I've just received two DVDs from them "Look at Life in the 60s Civil Aviation" and "Look at Life in the 60s Military Aviation" each containing 6 of the programmes. The Military one covers:
Golden Wings (1962) - Sir Philip Joubert looking at the World War One aircraft he actually flew
Black Arrows (1959)
Flight deck (1960) - operations on HMS Hermes
Test Pilot (1961) - Lightning test flights
Turning Blades (1962) - Rotary wing
Jumping Jets (1965) - HS Kestrel
Tantalisingly, the DVD cover shows ten different stills, one of which is a Valiant, but I haven't yet run the DVD so don't know if this features anywhere, or if there will be a later issue covering other films.
The DVDs came as a 2 for 1 offer at £13.57
