RAF - The Unseen Films, any good?

[John_E]

Saw these DVDs advertised in the RIAT catalogue that arrived yesterday - covers the 50s through to the late 70s. They look quite interesting but I was wondering whether anyone else has them and if they're any good before making a purchase. At £17.99 per volume and 4 x volumes I don't really want to spend £71.96 unless they're really quite good. One volume is available at Amazon for around a tenner but can't find the others cheaper anywhere else.

It looks as though they have finally released the old RAF training/promotional/careers films. I remember watching them as a cadet way back when. They are all professionally filmed and have some superb sequences, no doubt. I've got quite a few I, ahem, aquired from the cadets they make good viewing, I copied a few on to dvd for Nige (Wrexham machem). My favourite is still the 12Sqn Buccaneer deployment to Gib, loadsa low level Buccs, Victor , Herc, Canberra etc, they even get intercepted by F14s, all linked to a stirring Vangelis soundtrack - stunning stuff!
