...I remember seeing a similar film when I was at South Cerney (video hadn't been invented for the yoof).

The display was opened by a general with a gazillion medals and mirror shades who would not have been out of place as Dr Strangelove.
The highlight was an F-100 demonstrating a lay down delayed bomb which didn't delay. The a/c looked as if it had been booted up the backside and pitched nose down followed by a small figure descending under his 'chute.
Ah the old [yank] weapons and effects film, bouncing bombs and napalm tanks [unfused through radar caravans] great viewing on certain "courses" only for the polish to be immediately taken off, as it were, by that other yank classic, How to Stage a Disaster......
