My favourite episode. R.I.P. Tony Selby (26.02.1938 - 05.09.2021). I never tire of rewatching Get Some In. The characters exemplify a composite of my husband and his fellow airmen in the RNZAF in the 1960s. So much of Get Some Is familiar.

This was pretty popular back in the day, but I don't think its ever been repeated since. Odd, because it's very well performed with a strong cast and well written too. Interesting to see stuff about national service, as it was abolished nearly 60 years back, there will be less and less people that now remember it.

I got mine in in the Parachute Regiment. They took us to the firing range to have a go with SLR rifles, Browning pistols and Sterling sub machine guns on the third day of recruit training before we even had our uniforms. I think it was to show us that all the coming suffering would be worth it. The first time we went up in a plane we had to stand in the open dòor looking down. The next time they let us jump out. Fabulous! I always thought the RAF had it soft but didn't know how soft until I saw these shows on KZitem. If they are accurate. 80 people started in my training platoon. 12 survived. Almost every day some were sent to other less demanding parts of the army.

my late dad was a flight sgt in bomber command. he joined the auxillery airforce in 1939 and was mobilised before war started.he served over germany and in the desert.much to his chagrin like a lot of other airmen who started pre war being declared he was back numbered when it came t demobing.he got out early in 1946. the problem was much like get some in raf casualties though horrendous were far below the estimates. in short they had far more conscripts than needed. as my dad said we only had so many planes .problem was they retained the aircrews who knew how to operate them as they were already trained and let go less essential erks.the raf had vast camps with no aircraft! hundreds of personnel with basically nothing to do! the famous comedy radio series much binding in the marsh was about just such a forgotten air base.the excellent movie on the fiddle with sean connery features a pair of erks who serve in various raf camps never seeing a plane /the last time i saw archie with robert mitchum shows the same problem from a us perspective camps full of qaulified pilots who never get sent overseas as there are more of them than they have planes for! get some in captures the big problem with national service in peacetime with restricted budgets for the forces.basically they have thousands of men who dont want to be there and have to find pointless jobs to keep them occupied.my late neighbour was one of the very last national servicemen.in the army. he said it was like two years hard labour . he was in a camp where all they did was drill then paint everything.wed paint all the huts then start again.he told me.we even painted the coal! problem was obvious .none of the conscripts were going to stay on after their time.in peacetime especially in the raf it was pointless after basic training to for example spend a year or so teaching them to fly or operate radar only to have them leave. all branches of the services had the same difficulty .they had disaffected servicemen and nothing for them without a war for them to do.a colossal waste of time.

Surely the seats in the plane are the wrong way round? I thought that the passenger seats in RAF planes always faced the rear. Also, some confusion as to what kind of plane that was. Argosy or Beverley? The turbo-prop engines suggest the latter. Either way, the plane in wrong, as neither type was in service in 1955. Please correct me if I'm mistaken.

The original screen size in the 70's was 4:3......this has been widened to 16:9, which is why the Bev looks sleeker than it really was! The Blackburn Beverley looked cumbersome and old fashioned but the SAS and British Army were glad to see this monster over the Ground Zeros of the North Borneo jungle in the 60's..

I thought the Wing Commander's (Pilot) laugh was classic just how people laughed at my Boarding School in the 70's. This looks like a Blackburn B-101 Beverley looking very sleek due picture format then.I see that Flight Lieutenant Grant's sleeve stripes consists of a Pilot Officer's stripe (thinner) and a Flying Officers' Stripe (thicker) which is incorrect and should be 2 thicker ones.

Remember .303 Lee-Enfields at RAF Catterick combined with AEF in Chipmunks. 10 rounds - in your own - time carry on.. On the range one of the lads shot a starling - unplanned but effective as it flew across the butts. Shooting prone, one small cadet loosed off 3 rounds and had to shuffle forward as the recoil had slid him back on the mat. Often wonder who went on to join up - I did selection but didn't have the O level for a technical trade.

In my first months [ July 1951 intake ] we were referred to them as “ Working Blue “ and “ Best Blue “, at least verbally and possibly but not necessarily probably they may well have been referred to as number 2 dress etc in Station Notices....but I personally never recall hearing the reference to Working Blue as “battledress” which term for a very long while I always held to be the Army term for that style of tunic, which may have been due to conversations on the subject with friends serving in the army.
