I found this recently, and although it is the usual clips of Concorde, the music goes with it beautifully. Every time i watch it, it brings a lump to my throat. :((

My thought's exactly Pam. A lot of all night news watching and very red eyes. It's like remembering how long ago the Falklands happened :-o My stepfather was on 55 sqn Victors then, seems a lifetime ago.

Got a Channel 4 video called 'After Desert Storm'. Showing off some of the kit.
The Low level Tonka sortie above in and around the Red rocks looks like it came from ADS. The pilots comments were quite interesting as they barrelled along at not many feet above the deck.

Well done Paul.

I remember it particularly well. I was in Qatar, well within Saddam's Scud range. Had a sealed room prepared in case he tried anything nasty, British Embassy issued gas mask, etc.

First couple of days were very nervy, before it became clear how "easy" it was going to be.

We did have a couple of Scuds hit within a few miles of where we lived.
