F-32 Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Awesome, I liked the Buccaneer wheelie after he disengaged the wire and powered up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wadeocu Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Brilliant stuff - thanks for sharing! What do you suppose the date of this footage is? I can narrow it down to 73-76 based on markings on the a/c but perhaps someone has a better idea? How much closer to slim than none do you guys suppose our chances of getting a 1/350 kit of the Ark in this fit would be - that would be something now wouldn't it?

It was a part of TV show on the BBC called 'Sailor' (as alluded to above) about life on Ark Royal. Rod Stewarts 'Sailing' was the theme music.

GreenDragon Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 (edited) Great stuff Drewe! I thought I'd seen Sailor back in 76 but I don't remember that clip, must have missed some eps. So sad that the government threw all that capability away. Paul Harrison Edited November 13, 2008 by GreenDragon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eng Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Fan-bloody-tastic!!! Proper jets and a proper carrier too! Brilliant find. Does anyone remember a series shown on the Beeb in the late 80's I think about the Empire Test Pilots School? I can't for the life of me remember what it was called though.
