Was that the one that opened to the sound track of Pink Floyd's "Echoes"? Or was the one I'm thinking of an even earlier documentary about the Reds? I have a sense it featured the Gnat, which would place it at least a decade earlier if I'm right.
Hm... This isn't quite what I was thinking of, but it's a rather stunning documentary of the Reds from 1967 I turned up while looking:
Reminds me of my first sight of them at Binbrook in 1972-ish at a families day display or something of the sort. They approached from the south, and flew in extremely low over the line of hangars. The abiding memory is of seeing the entire control tower staff duck in unison.
