Ark Royal workup

Recommended Posts

I'm not sure if this has been posted before, but it's a lovely sequence from the 1970s BBC documentary "Sailor". The Phantoms and Buccaneers land on during their first workup near the Cornish coast. An RAF Buccaneer pilot narrowly avoids being sent to St Mawgan by Wings and manages to hook on. Some nice sequences from flyco and from the back seat of a Buccaneer (though the view always switches to the deck before landing, boo). And no Rod Stuart tunes!

Funnily enough this is about the best flying scene in Sailor, the rest of the programme is mostly about the workings of the fishheads inside the carrier. Which while interesting is not exactly what we are looking for.
