Tornado F3 documentary - mid 90s?
Hi there,
Apologies for logging a rather trivial thread but I thought this is where I'd get the fastest answer.
Can anyone remind me of the name of the ITV (Granada, Meridian?) documentary about an RAF Tornado F3 deployment to Cold Lake, Canada that was aired in the early/mid 90s? I've Googled but no luck. Even better if you can let me know where I might get a copy.
Many thanks,
CH.

'Top Guns'
Colin,
It was called Top Guns (well cheesy !) and featured 29 Sqn going from CGY to Cold lake.
There was a book to go with the series by Hugh Manners IIRC.
Good luck trying to find the 6 episodes.
Some of them were pretty good to be fair....

Here's the book:
Far, far, better than the TV series - actually reflects the real events!
You can still get it on Amazon.

PS. We pleaded with them not to call the series that name - the silly sods wouldn't listen!!!
PPS. Hugh McManners is the author. Got an MID in the Falklands and top bloke - here's his website Hugh McManners

The actors pretty much lived up to every stereotype you could imagine................

I recall that the full size mockup of a F3 nose & cockpit section that was used in the filming of Strike Force sat for years at the MT hangar at Leeming, i think nobody knew what to do with it!
