In 1966 my father ( Flt lt. WDS Waddington) was based in RAAF Butterworth ( Malaysia ). This film was made for a local competition, which they won, much to the frustration of the other entrants who complained about the unfair advantage they had. Not everyone has access to a Jet Fighter..
My Father is the pilot shown at the beginning & end of the film ( reading "the" magazine ). He flew the plane you are watching in the film. The Navigator is Paul Woodward. Filming was done by Bert Foley - Navigator in the 2nd Javelin, which was flown by Gerry Clarke. I'm afraid I have no idea who the ground crew are.
The unidentified plane they are sent to identify is an Avro Vulcan.
According to dads log book, the film shots were taken on 2nd 3rd & 7th Feb 1966. The Vulcan shots done on 7th Feb.
I appologize for the sound quality. I'll see if I can improve it.
Anyway enjoy the film & the amazing Javelin Roll at the end.
