Was that the "mixed" deployment unit one with a Hercules, Pumas and Harriers. In the first one they borrowed a Phantom as well? If so yes.

Indeed, a jolly jape! So much mutual backslapping they must've have had blisters. Embarrassing that the programme depicts a "What-ho chaps!" skewed perception of the RAF of that time but doesn't even include Regulation haircuts? :open_mouth:
Painful to watch these days! :blush:

Has anybody been able to access that link. On every computer I have it doesn't seem to work. Maybe the OP could provide some more info. It maybe that I have my security settings too high. I remember watching this as a teenager in the 80s. Yes it may have been cheesy but still worth watching.
Regards

Was on a resettlement course in Catterick with a load of other service personnel. The pee was taken out of myself and the other RAF guys.
