Wander00,

I remember that wonderful film. The essence of the story was that in a multi-crew aircraft, the aircraft captain might not be the best person to lead the crew in a post-crash survival situation.

We watched it in the UBAS crew room at Shawbury one rainy non-flying day. The ATC cadets from 8 (?) AEF next door also came in to watch. Prior to starting the film, their officer warned them that the film was very graphic and if any of them felt queasy, they should go outside..

The film was very well done with lots of realistic-looking bloody wounds and the cadets were all lapping it up. The film reached a climax where there was a close up of a bloody, bubbling chest wound and the person examining the the casualty exclaims, "Ah, a sucking wound!"

This was followed by a moan at the back of the room, as the ATC officer fainted!
