Good video! 
I hope they wire recce-ed those valleys first though - otherwise, flying down the middle like that isn't a sound idea.
Nice to see the Pumas in there, but they are RAF, not Army.

I notice they "borrowed" the "Machen Wir" slogan from Beaver Flight!

About halfway through, immediately before the first night shot, there's a scene where some chap is stood up looking v. pleased at the camera. After a couple of seconds some sprog gets up off his knees below camera shot. Was that the reason for the thumbs up?

As long as the troops can ride on a sling so they can jerk them off a mountain top that is.

Check out the first aircraft in the opening shot again - it's a PUMA, not a Lynx. 16 seats, or at least they did have for all of my time flying them from 1979-83, 84-87 and 92-94.
Yawn....

It was probably lost.
