ricardian,

A great find. Quite well done and I thought the "actors" were not too self-conscious! I was intrigued by the side-loading Blue Steel carrier. I was hoping to see the loading procedure. What did they do? Drive the loader into a trench or jack-up the Victor?

In the late 60s, I saw a Standard Vanguard staff car being used as an impromptu runway friction meter. Our UBAS CFI (S/L John McGrory) was doing hand-brake turns on the pan to see if the snow was too slippery to taxi a Chipmunk. The conclusion was that conditions were too bad, but I think he had a lot of fun proving it!
