"Flight : man's enduring passion" or "Man in the Sky"

Is anyone willing to part with a copy of the VHS video:-

"Flight : man's enduring passion" (or "Man in the Sky" itself)

it contains 4 short films, one of which is..."Man in the sky"! featuring David Perrin. It has "awesome footage" of the then British aerobatic champion flying his Pitts (low and inverted) over the cliffs of Dover? It was famous footage back then.

Perhaps someone knows where to obtain said footage, or if it is no longer available, willing to seed it for downloading?

PS, the cliffs are the Seven Sisters - can't walk along there now without "seeing" that Pitts squeezing down the valleys!

I would love a copy of that video. In fact I've always wanted to re-produce that scene where he flies over the cliffs myself in my S2A. in HD!
