Saw the film during Flight Safety course in '79. I too went out and bought the Vangelis album with the music. It seemed a great aircraft compared with the delicate rubbish turned out by the planemakers of today. I also recall our BFTS course from Leeming visited the Brough factory where the 'frames were hewn from the solid billet, marvelling at the strength and simplicity of the landing gear, later the same day we adjourned to Holme-on-Spalding Moor airfield whence the finished articles were flown out for delivery. Halcyon days, when we had an aircraft industry and if I recall correctly we also had an air force, a navy and an army..........
