They must have speeded up parts of that film, nice to see the old Squadron again see a few glitches like aircraft without, then with CBLS's, but a nice nostalgic reminder.

Ah, the upside-down Koch fasteners. A wonderful MoD 'cost-saving' measure that wasn't really thought through. We suffered that in the F4 for years too.

Goodness, forgotten all about the film. I was at Bruggen in the COC when it was shot, wearing my NBC suite and gas mask. What happy memories.

If I had a quid for every time I showed that film while I was on recruiting I'd be a rich, rich man.

Brought back many happy memories - I trained most of those guys !
After we trained 6 and 54, 14 were next and were the first RAFG Jaguar squadron.

Fair one.

That film brings back memories of RAFG. Seriousness, uncertainty, olive drab paint, sweat and charcoal lined NBC suits, densely planted woods and the sense that anything could happen and that if it ever did, there would be no half measures and it wouldn't be good news.
