Ooh, good find! Will have a go at casting those to me telly later!

Edit: technology is marvellous! Opened YouTube on telly and it immediately asked me if I wanted to sign in using my phone...

It seems all but 2 episodes are now 'hidden' - they were all available a few days ago.
Just when I was getting into Buccaneer after 40 years !

I remember the series being broadcast the first time. Having watched an episode recently I didn't realise how bad the acting was.

Now extremely dated in terms of racial attitudes, class distinctions and accents, but the footage taken on the ramp at Luton unintentionally captured (usually in the background) quite a variety of the aircraft and carriers of the period. Also, while some of the sound of the Britannia was probably dubbed, some at least conveyed the rumbling engine sound of the type quite well.

Back end of 1979 I was working for Airline Engineering at Luton. One day a new Portakabin appeared outside one of the hangars. Someone then sprayed it with dirty paint to make it look old.
Thought it strange, but later saw it was used in the Red-Air TV series.

Oh great! Only 13 episodes and they never got to reweigh that cargo. So many unanswered questions.
What's that you say? It's only pretend?

Far be it from me to cast doubt on their acting ability, but...

I was staying in a hotel near to the M1 Jnc, it may no longer be there, hopefully!, where some hotel room shots were filmed. Came back one evening to find the hotel, had, without informing me in advance, kindly relocated all my stuff to another room. to enable the original to be used for filming...quite why I don't know.

However, amongst the cables and technical stuff draped along the corridor where the crew... and cast....along with a diverse selection of half empty bottles.
