Gawd that brings back memories. I must go and have another watch of it soon. And yes, the original soundtrack was/is considerably better !!
Actually that clip is a combination of two different films. The last bit is taken from "Buccaneer, The Last British Bomber" but up until 3'26" ish with the Bucc in the vertical it's taken from "Farewell Bucc" which was mostly shot in Gib, including the gorgeous slow-mos, low-levels and the ship attack (HMS Kent IIRC) but also has some of the final flights at Lossie with 208 even closer to the ground than normal.
I seem to remember that questions were later asked from on high about who exactly had been piloting said machines in the film but most unfortunately the cameraman had neglected to keep a log of exactly which bits of footage he had shot on which particular dates
Well worth seeking out if you can still find a copy anywhere
