Just watched this in the office (sound turned down in order not to upset some former belligerants!). Great footage and, significantly, no 'dumbing down' by Raymnd Baxter. The audience were treated as intelligent adults (cf the appalling Jubilee Pageant narration).

I note the reference to the industrial torpor of 1973 and the Oil Crisis when referring to the Red Arrows reduction of training. Wouldn't even make news, these days...
