- An RAF Presentation film, beginning with a brief overview of the history of airpower from 1914, through the Battle of Britain and Bomber Command's offensive against Germany to the dropping of the first atomic bombs. A Phantom pilot introduces the film, explaining that its purpose is to demonstrate how the RAF can counter the threat posed by the Soviet Union. That threat is illustrated through footage of Soviet air, land and sea forces exercising, and followed by scenes of a readiness exercise at RAF Bruggen in West Germany. Phantom aircraft based in the UK are scrambled to intercept a Tu-16 'Badger' reconnaissance aircraft, Phantoms refuel in mid air with Victor tankers, and the role of Nimrod, Buccaneer and Tornado aircraft is explained. A Sea King search and rescue helicopter winches an injured man from the deck of a vessel at sea, Jaguar and Tornado aircraft carry out low-level bombing sorties and the Red Arrows are shown carrying out formation aerobatic manoeuvres. The narrator finishes with the point that strong armed forces will deter potential aggressors and that the NATO alliance has kept the peace in Europe since 1945.

18:59 AVM having an important job lighting candles! Whoot!
Thanks for uploading.
You're welcome! glad you enjoyed it
I did 28 days in Bruggen jail, so I didn't really see much of the camp apart from the gym and the mess...
8:33 - Clothing Stores - we've got it you've got to try and get it.
Military Mind set this is a store not an issue.
Stores are for storing lol
You can’t have that Sir, someone may need it
Lol, it would take you more than 7 minutes to get into a Noddy suit straight out of the packet!!!! We always used old noddy suits for exercises in UK and RAFG. The only time I ever received a brand new one was in Saudi in 1990.
After it had been through a washing machine !!
I joined in 1982, this looks so old now 😬😂
@@forsdykemontague1017 l joined in 1980 looks ancient 😂
Can you imagine how things might have gone if the flag went up?? I mean a real conventional war between the NATO & Warsaw pacts. There was so many weapons ie; tanks, planes, missiles. It makes you wonder who would have really won WWIII.
I’m pretty confident that as soon as one side seemed to be losing nukes would have been used and that would be the end of the world as we knew it.
I know the Soviets were massively ahead in the shear numbers, but their command and control (as we now know) was severely lacking. Their equipment, though more in numbers was mostly lacking even basic maintenance and supply logistical planning.
NATO did have the technical and logistical advantage, but I’m afraid nukes would be the great equalizer.
I SPREAD MY WINGS AND KEEP MY PROMISE!,,, err well,.... we, that is you! will go over the top, sadly heroes I shall be very much at the rear with the gear of that I have no fear,
But good luck to you Rodney's in grow bags I'll see you back at the mess perhaps post the scrap for tea and medals,, tally ho.! Check the tyres and light the fires, I'll be safe thousands of miles yond any wires!
Such is the mantra of any sane airman Brylcream boy or crab..
