  Great video; thanks for posting and to everyone involved in its production. A great loss to our skies and to all of us who loved watching.

  Interesting to know that in the early days there were no two seat lightnings and every pilots first flight was solo. That must have been quite an experience 😮

  This was filmed in May 1978 when five B-25s flew the Atlantic to take part in the movie 'Hanover Street'. This was the last aviation movie to be filmed at the former RAF Bovingdon. The film was released towards the end of 1979 but the documentary was not shown until late December 1985 on Channel 4 in the UK.

  As an American I was very impressed by the achievements of the postwar UK aircraft industry with comparatively little in the way of resources. It seems as though government interference destroyed it

  I watched this on its hot weather trials in the Middle East. Unforgettable, especially in a vertical climb, with the accompanying double boom. Not a pretty aircraft, perhaps, but fuelled on raw testosterone. Superb.

  Everything after that touchdown was "pure profit" as they say. Nerves of steel, managing to recall & apply his limited propeller-plane flying experience & extrapolate to one of those. Obviously, knowing it from an engineering perspective would be enormously helpful but when you're on re-heat heading for who knows where, how to access that knowledge coolly & rationally

  This is the type of programme the BBC used to broadcast routinely. It would typically go out on BBC 1 at nine pm on a Wednesday evening for an hour and the producer wouldn't feel the need to obscure the words of the pilots or narrator with intrusive music. It might surprise the reader to learn that programmes of such subjects are still broadcast in his country but the Corporation has eschewed them in favour of repetitive cookery, dance and quiz shows

  Spent a few months there on airfield damage repair exercise with 51 Field Squadron, R.E. in the late seventies. Loved the Asbach, steaks cooked to order and the sauna in the gym. They has Lightning’s but flew Harriers. I think the Lightning’s were there to fool Russian surveillance into thinking they were operational.

  Featured in this video is a yellow helicopter, G-HWBK, that was used in the 1987 TV film, Mr. Jolly Lives Next Door, a 'Comic Strip Presents production featuring Rik Mayall, Adrian Edmondson and Nicholas Parsons. I've been trying for far too long with zero results to find any information regarding the locations of the helicopter in the film. Does anyone here have any knowledge that could help to solve this mystery?! Thanks for posting this video!
