Gulf Air War video

[ChemicalChaos]

Evening all,

I have the following VHS tape:




I am currently trying to update the last vestiges of my video collection to dvd, which now means trying to source all the obscure special interest videos on DVD if available. Does anyone know who the video was made by, or when? The only clue on the box states "Leisure View Video LVV 3588", which returns nothing on google.

Thanks,

Matt

You tried YouTube?

That's a bit 'Rich' - a Gulf War video with a pair of F3s on the cover!

There's the exact video with an F-117 on the cover (I think), I have both thinking they were different. So it may be worth looking for that one too?
I'll try and post a picture later for reference as Google isn't helping me.

Ive been scouring the internet and ebay for a full length copy of "The Boys from Bahrain" for years now. Dont suppose anyone has a full length copy and not the 5 minute one on youtube ?

Given DVD isn't a really current format. Would you not be better off copying the tape onto your PC.

There must be plenty of VHS to PC conversion gadgets and software.

There are, and I have got one. But the quality is shocking when you play a 600x400 video in dvd resolution, especially not helped by the constant aliasing as the 2 resolutions do not divide cleanly into each other.

If Dvd isn't the current format, then what is? BluRay remains an expensive diversion for Availability purists with a TV big enough to actually notice an appreciable quality difference. Plus, DVD is truly multi-platform

BluRay is a reasonable price now and I am slowly buying old films to replace the versions I had. I even have Dr Strangelove in BluRay new I paid about £6-8

But realistically it's all gone digital now.

Stick with DVD. Then you can't accidentally lose the data and you don't have to sit in front of your PC to watch the telly.

People still do that?

Not 'The Boys from Bahrain' but I took loads of footage during the Gulf War in Bahrain whilst with XV Squadron. One day I'll get it published. Were you there?
