My VHS copy is very poor so could do with an improved version. I showed it to the troops pre-Telic and it really caught their imagination. Quite why the RAF doesn't of it's own volition make more of these is beyond me.
The video I have is followed by a documentary piece on, from recollection, XV Sqn and then some general footage which culminates with the TIALD film of a transport plane being hit with the words 'Gotcha yer b*****d!'. Great stuff.

1991 Gulf War video
I have a copy of the original TV am video,
although its about the 4th copy quality!
I have the kit to transfer onto DVD and then burn them off
if anyone has a mint version on vhs!
There might be a copyright issue however,
as there is Phil Collins and the people that look after
the music of Whitesnake might have something to say
as the video was never made for public consumption!
Anyone know of the legal issues here?
I am willing to do it if there seems to be no snags
with this and also the proceeds go to the PPRuNe
fund?
Great footage of the Jaguars and Banana Jets
also out takes of the press are hilarious
but the best has to be the slow motion at night
of the GR1 on full reheat to the music of the master,
Phil Collins 'In the air tonight' on take off with the R/T
overlaid!
"Theyre all in their little beds boys, theyre all asleep"
Whoop whoop whoop
Everytime I see that I still get hairs stand up on my neck!
Awesome, just awesome!
Ive also got the pavespike videos of the Buccaneer with
Tornado LGB's which is equally excellent!
Airfields, HAS's, Bridges and dont forget the An12!!
"Gotcha yer ba**ard!" PORG what a star!
I LOVE THE WAY ON THE US SKY DISCOVERY CHANNELS
WHENEVER THERE IS A PROGRAM ON ABOUT THE F-117A
AND THE ALL SINGING AND DANCING KIT- STEALTH
TECHNOLOGY etc THEY SHOW THIS VIDEO OF
THE An-12 GETTING HIT! Allows the viewer to be drawn
into the belief if was dropped from such aircraft!
IT WAS A SELF DESIGNATED LGB FROM A BUCCANEER!
INITIATED BY THE MK 1 EYEBALL!
'Faster Lower Longer'
I know there is supposed to be no advertising on here
so if anyone has a problem with this I shall remove
the link below without hesitation or problem!
However, if you want to know a bit more about this particular
day in February 1991 and the Buccaneer self designated LGB attack,
click the link skypirate.co.uk
(and all at the twilight of the Buccaneer's career!! What an aircraft)
As I said, shall remove if this upsets anyone!
Shall have to make a few phone calls
to see if that would upset anyone and if the
the response is ok, shall add those too if space
allows?
Comments and suggestions?
As I said, happy to take it on if someone can provide me
with a mint version?
Regards

Boys From Bahrain
Me too please.
I used to have a 15th generation copy on VHS until a girlfriend taped Eastenders over it. (She is not my girlfirend any more.)
Despite copyright laws saying pretty much that you should never copy anything, for any reason, ever; as long as you are discrete, do it for cost, not profit and restrict its distribution to military circles (ie those that are already familiar with the tape) then you are unlikely to attract the interest of any authorities. Selling DVDs of it on market stalls, on the other hand, would definitely land you in poo. Unfortunately this means no massive profits to PPRUNE or to you (although you would receive costs and an unrelated 'gift' in the form of beer or anything else suitable for your trouble if I get a copy).
Bear in mind that as the video was originally produced by TVAM, they would probably have already cleared the soundtrack rights if necessary.
Disclaimer - I am not a copyright lawyer and I would like a copy of the vid
""Nothing on the RHWR - they're all asleep boys, they're all in they're little beds"

This is something I would really like to see as well but as I'm not in the military, just an avid military aviation enthusiast, it may be difficult to get a copy after reading Max Stout's comments.
However if these issue can be overcome and a copy can be produced on DVD (or VHS come to that) then count me in please.

I have an original!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Just to set history straight:
First came phil collins then whitesnake, the Beeb then had to get Kate Adie involved and put out a vid to Status Quo "We're in the army now". Then out takes and general news items.
There was a secret vid about a spoof mission, don't know if it survived. Buckers and Paddy might know.
I have an original TVAM tape and no you cannot borrow it.
Rgds unowho

This brings back memories! I was one of the many in this vid! The vid was made by TV-AM as a thank you for the relationship that grew up between the tv crews and the RAF Bahrain team, (good old Tony Birtley and Mark Austin (ITV)). So it was only ever intended for internal consumption, but then it was so good that it was bound to get a wider release. I still get sweaty palms when I hear the Phil Collins and Whitesnake track. A DVD would be good, as my VHS original is wearing a little thin now and is treated as an endangered species in our house!
Pretty Please!! I would love a GW1 UK DVD.
I can offer some stuff from last year's unpleasantness (the AAS media production) in return, and beer tokens as necessary...
(Last post for a week or so though, off to sunny Kleine Brogel).

Enjoy Little Bogel!
Stoppers, old bean, perhaps you should consider only making copies for those who volunteer a couple of quid each to the RAFBF? Or the PPRuNe fund?
Then it's all for chariddeee, not personal gain. "And if you think this is getting popular, then you ain't seen nothing yet, eh Nicey?"
"Not 'arf, Smashy!"
(Cue Bachman Turner Overdrive....)
Sorry about the yacht!

Vid to DVD
My local photo shop does Vid to DVD but don't know price.
Let you know tomorrow. And then maybe I'll share it.
Never had a copy of Kate Adie vid but I can say that it was pants. Best part was the night firing of MLRS.
Just had a thought why not try and get good originals of everything together and do something professional not costly just professional. Maybe Mark or Tony could help I'm sure they know where the original tapes are kept.

I was told a while ago that the R/T overlaid ("Belfast check"), was of a formation that had just lost a jet. As you hear the formation check, there's no reply. I standby to be corrected on this though from anybody more 'in the know.'
Count me on for a DVD though, my VHS copy's now very old

Faaaaaaarrrrrrr too young to be involved with the first Gulf push, but still wouldn't mind a copy. Does anyone know the original guys who made this (GMTV/TVAM) as they probably wouldn't be to adverse to making some money for RAFBF out of this.
Sounds a good idea for charity. What do you guys reckon 10 or 5 squid a throw???
PS. Late addition - I've e-mailed GMTV direct to see what they can do!!!! Baited breath and all that........

Champagne anyone...?
Bleedin ell!! What 'ave I done?!? Like I said, I'll try and get the thing copied onto DVD - local Video shop also does video to DVD so hopefully they can sort it out. Failing that maybe Stn Ed Centre (or whatever it's called these days) might be able to help out. Got some leave coming up so might be a week or so before it's sorted....
If anyone has any other bits and bobs from that era perhaps they could all be put together onto one disc? Like I said I have the "Boys from Bahrain" and the Whitesnake videos but nothing with commentary on it or any CVR.
Monies to chariddy mate!
PS. Did GMTV buy out TV-am? Vid says TV-am on it.
PPS. T_Handle - busted
