Looking for video of Fleet Air Arm review 1964
Hi all,
My Mum was a wren in the tower at Yeovilton during the Fleet Air Arm review of 1964 (date might be out by a year or so) and she has been trying to find any old footage of it, she has tried Pathe without success and you tube, I was just wondering if anyone out there knows of any available footage. It sounds like it must have been quite a sight with many different a/c turning up.
Thanks for any help.

Fleet Air Arm Review
Hi Wiggly, I'm afraid I have been looking for the same, if you find any let me know. I was flying a Scimitar of 803 squadron but after take-off my landing gear failed to retract. I could not take part in the flypast so the Duke of Edinburgh missed the opportunity to see my contribution.
