Air Ministry Training Films?
 
Over in Jet Blast is a number of threads of Admiralty WW2 training films. There are RAF equivalent films but I haven't found any. Still the RN ones are good viewing.

Not seen any WW2 Air Ministry Films, but have seen Where The Big Birds Fly about a Vulcan flying in Canada. Also flight 618 Vulcan flying to Cyprus plus other training films from that era.

And, of course, the immortal 12 Sqn Buccaneer film with the Vangellis score.

Thanks. I was thinking of a couple. One was a film on the Secret Blue Silk Doppler on the Canberra. The other which I would like to watch again was one on Hunter recce. It showed route planning, turning on a 6d, and track marking. Then the flight. He flew passed a bridge and rattled off the description, something like, "flat
​deck bridge, two lane, 8 span . . "

Very impressive to an impressionable 18 year old. Never occurred to me at the time that the chatter could have been a scripted voice over from the film.

Timelord,
Indeed so. Directed by Hugh Hudson of Chariots of Fire fame. With a cast of the RAF's best looking aviators. :ok:
