Front End Shot

It was a pod custom made for Supersonic Life by the Ohakea machine shop, and was mounted on the centreline weapons rack. It contained two digital camcorders, each connected to a remote camera pointing out either end of the pod. The maintenance guys would start the camcorders recording and slide in the pod innards just before engine start, and the tapes would continue to run until there was no more left.

Hopefully the Defence Force TV series is released soon.

From the Production company:

The Defence Force TV series was to be officially released at the Defence + Industry Conference & Exhibition 2008. Unfortunately Defence has cancelled D+I 08', as a result we have made the difficult decision to hold the release until either the Avalon 09' airshow, or D+I 09'.
