TVAM Video of RAF in Gulf War

I have been trying to get hold of a copy of the video that was shown on TVAM during the 1st Gulf War; played to Phil Collins "In the Air Tonight". I was hoping it would be on YouTube by now, but no joy. Has any body else had any success finding it?

I asked about it a few years back when on a course at AWC, but was told it was still classified and not releasable as a take-home-to-enjoy vid.

AA, I also tried unsuccessfully months ago when there was a thread here.
Can you please PM me if you have any info on how to get hold of a copy.

Thanks

Sticktime et al.

You could always try typing 'Boys from Bahrain' into Youtube!
You never know what you're gonna get!

If it was shown on TVAM, how can it be classified - even Restricted?

I seem to remember at the time there was one version for "public consumption" and another done for the boys who took part.

The second version could well be RESTRICTED!!

The video that's being discussed is about 45 mins long, and has plenty on it that was never aired on TVAM, though I very much doubt it was ever Restricted. Not publicly available, but not classified.

Update

I've just been checking the figures - this has raised over £3,000 for the RBL, plus the tax rebate from Gordon/Alastair.

Well done all
