Nice video
 

Not sure if this is the right forum, however;
Apparently 'Mostly french Super Etendard over Djibouti and Afghanistan'. Nicely put together.

Why don't we ever get anything similar from RN/RAF? Didn't the RAF once have a dedicated film unit? All I've seen of Afghan ops is a few grainy polaroids on the MoD site taken through the murky window of a VC10.

Great video, worth the wait even with broadband, there is even a glimpse of a VC10 giving out gas(poor chaps must have had to leave the hotel pool that day).
I doubt if the RAF would be interested in making such a video as it may give the impression that the RAF is all about flying and the application of force......

ALWAYS assume NEVER Check

Agree with akula, well worth the download: if only to watch the deck landings at the end :eek: The bolter was a sight to behold......;)

Thnx STM, great video, let's hope our guys can put something up ;)

Akula,

The RN do some quite good ones ...

go here

I particularly like the Sea Harrier and fleet air arm Vids:ok:

The french female maintainers aren't too shoddy either:}

Carrier Landings...... oh my word! Theres no messing about is there! Noticed a few aircraft with centreline tanks.... can't give much clearance on the deck!

Only wish I could get away with landing that hard.... *goes away to consider installing some really big elastic bands across the runway at Henlow*

That was a fantastic video, it is a shame we can't see more of the same sort of thing in our recruitment tv ads. It worked for the bootnecks - and I can't imagine showing footage like that would harm recruitment across all 3 services...as long as the negatives and consequences of the job are not glossed over...again, this worked well for the RM.

Trying to resist the urge to say something nice about the French, but it's beaten me, so - great video.
Worked with the Etendard chaps once - they certainly LIKED their flying!

Cheers,
The Navy vids are pretty good thanks for the pointer althenick.

Excellent video - no posing senior officers giving 'mission statements' or 'visions', just the real team getting on with the real deal.

The SuE is obviously one tough, well-liked aeroplane!

Anyone remember the excellent 527th (Aggressor Sqn) movie? That was a really good recruit and motivate job.

Thanks for the pointer.....great vid. Made me glad that we don't have that carrier recovery ability, (wonder what happened to that bolter?)!!

Am trying to get a short version shot by 18 Sqn last year onto the site, just to prove that we can keep up with the froggies!! Hopefully not to long away from sharing with you good people.

Another mpeg for my library and wel worth the download time but doesn't it prove that ". . . it's better to stop and then land than to land and then try to stop"? ;) I'm sure WEBF would agree . . .

And how come the french navy gets to go to sea in T-shirts and jeans? Truly the most casual uniforms I've ever seen.

Some of the best vids I ever saw were created by BFTS studes at LOO.

you can get some good videos off winmx.com of various a/c types from sr 71 to ju88 during the war. just type in military aviation

Only got broadband yesterday.......................glad I did. Must dig out my old vids from Iraq 1991, and digitise them.

Good to see some good action flying, any chance of some top brit footage.... must be the odd Tonka or Wokka vid out there somewhere

SIA:ok:

Excellent vid, but not a patch on the Van Halen Eagle though.

Anyone got a copy or location for the GW II GR7 Video set to Emenem's Nine Mile.

Would love to get a copy.

A DVD of lots of 847 NAS/Jungly videos has come into my possesion which has some great stuff on it, but how do I put it on the net/compress it etc?
