Does anyone out there have any ideas if it is possible to get a recording of this excellent documentary, produced by the BA Film Unit MANY moons ago? Story of what BA put their 747 (-200s) through, one in maintenance, other in operation. Give you some idea of the age, the 74's in question bear the "British" (ie, not British Airways) paint job. Notable for its excellent music as well, by Richard Harvey.
Thanks in advance!
TA ;)

Thanks Swashplate - I know that at lot of the BAFU stuff was put out on a series of vids called "Great British Airliner Classics" - there were ten in the series, with three or four films each.. I've got the one with the Trident on. Some of the best ones were the ones about the Viscount. Ahhhhh, memories....
Do wonder if one of this series has the "TOTJ" on it, but no-one seems to stock all ten...
