To save the file to your hard drive just click your right mouse button on the link and then choose the 'save target' option.

Does anyone know how to post a good video, as I may have found one?

Tourist, et al,

If there are any videos/DVD's that need hosting, I can put them up on my site for general access. You'll have to get them to me, of course!

Just viewed the RN videos - their 2 recruitment videos are superb, IMHO, compared to the cr&p that the RAF produces for the same purpose.

NOV 4,

Agree with you there, sad thing is I've yet to see them on the TV -
when are they showing them??? Surely the DNR isn't so strapped for cash that they can't show these fine recruitment adverts at peak viewing times?

I like the 'RN Iraq (The Royal Marines demonstrate why they are the best)' video which features loads of Chinnies.

Saw a great (yes - great!!) RAF recruitment video whilst on IMLC. Similar to the RN recruitment ones on their site. Civilians being murdered and ending with "Their country needs you". Never shown as felt it would upset some people as too hard hitting and un-PC.

Still now that we aren't recruiting - no need to show the supermarket cr&p ad

I have some great video of RAF Merlins, in the hangar....

There is a video chap (and pilot) at valley, goes by a tri very similar to 'bag' , most of his work is awesome and should be used in recruitment , as it features aeroplanes in the air doing aeroplane things like refueling and bombing/pods pods pods and flying at low-level. Not to be confused with a bloke in an office....

There was a good one around in about 1996/7 with harriers, hercs and a tune by the crystal method...thats what we need, not some poncey lateral thinking .

cheers

joe2812 it was a good F18 vid you posted, and at the same cheesy site http://www.grouchymedia.com/ there is a vid called 'helo thunder.' 4 1/2 mins of rotary fun, and the best bit is the apache playing around at the end!

Video of some Swiss Mirage 3 playing above and 'in' the Alps, including a bit of dog fighting with Hornets (but please don't pull me up on types). Quality probably not as good as the Etendard video, but it's well worth watching, especially for what is probably the fastest ascent of the Matterhorn ever, 11 minutes in.

http://www.helicopterservice.com.au/...rune/swiss.wmv

Unfortunately the video is slightly broken so although it plays fine (apart from a bit of judder two minutes in) you can't fast forward or rewind. Apparently there is software that will fix this, but I don't have it. Anyone?

[edit] Credit and thanks to John Eacott for hosting the file.

Smoketoomuch,

Here's the link to the video:

http://www.helicopterservice.com.au/...rune/swiss.wmv

When you make your own post, I'll delete this one. (your e mail bounces back, and you haven't activated PM!)

Anyone linking, be warned: 36mb will take a while to download, and there's a bit of a digital pause about 2:40 into the video. But it's well worth it

Anyone know what the soundtrack music is on the Swiss Mirage vid? It's an absolutely superb accompaniment to the video and I need a copy.

This and the Etendard video are among the best sqn vids I have ever seen. More please, but how about some rotary for real beauty.

Max,

The swiss vid music...

First track is a revamp of the closing credit music from a French comedy movie called 'Les Visiteurs' starring Jean Reno, available in the UK through Arrow DVD. The movie music was by Eric Levi.

Then Wagner's 'Ride of the Valkyries', 'November Rain' by Guns 'n' Roses, followed by 'Ride the Wild Wind' by Queen.

Cool Rather large files.....

The DVD from Tourist finally arrived yesterday, via all points south and a nice note from Royal Mail saying we need more stamps next time

I've resized the vids, and they are still massive, but the Blue Eagles one is so impressive that it's at this link if anyone has a few hours to download. Only 99mb

I'll work on a bit more video compression to get the other files down from the current 150 - 260mb

Mega vids, worth the 12 min download. I'll have to digout the home made Tornado movie I've got on Betamax and digitise it.

Very cool videos especially the Swiss one.

As far as solving the problem in the Swiss video with regards to it jumping and you not being allowed to jump forwards or backwards, the following link gives you some info on how to solve the problem.

http://www.jhepple.com/support/reindexwmv.htm

Worked wonders for me!

Cheers,

WW

P.S Max i managed to get a copy of that music from the Swiss Video. Took a bit of hunting down but was worth it.
The song is called Enae Volare Mezzo and is on an album called Era.

Seemingly it was huge in France!

PM if you want a copy.

I've resized the Blue Eagles down to 47mb, and have some 847NAS Op Telic and Aurora 04 clips too: same link.

Thanks to Tourist: by the way, check your PM's
