Flying Soldiers - BBC 1997
 

Came across these excellent videos on Youtube.

2nd Lt Andy James.......if its the same bloke then the boy's done good, if you like that sort of thing. Now with Emirates on the A380.

Episode 1
 

Crikey! Ian Hamilton sent me solo in a JP3 at Syerston in 1963 and I used to fly with Pete Jennings when he was leading his students on solo formation trips.

As another amazing coincidence I sent his son on his first solo in a Viking glider at Upavon - although I didn't know he was my first instructor's son at the time.

ACW

Yes, it's the same Andy James.

Thanks for posting 206F
Here is episode 6 for graduation/wings parade :)

Cheers LR.. Didn't come across the last one.

Ian Hamilton was my BFW Instructor on 312 APC, and a thoroughly nice bloke too.

Was this the series with Marcus L as one of the students? I've not had a chance to view the vids yet. He was a school friend. Often wondered what he went on to do. Cheers!
