I used to watch it with my grandad, and we had them recorded on VHS (Long since vanished).

I remember it discussed on here before and I don't know what the result of that was with the people who wanted a copy but I've finally found the 12 episode set so if anyone wants a copy (on disc), give me a shout!

[andymadmak]

yes please! Let me know how?

[VernalEquinox]

Oh hell yes, been wanting to find that for years.

Great series.

I still have my original VHS copies. Is it out on DVD now?

[Simpo Two]

And the resin model of that very Eurofighter is on my top shelf!

[Eric Mc]

Except it's not a Eurofighter

It's the EAP - which was a proof of concept demonstrator and only possesses a passing resemblance tio the eventual production aircraft.

I remember it well at the 1986 Farnborough Airshow.

Remember the programme well. Got one of them a few years ago from Amazon. The Aeroplane Goes To War and Victory at Sea.

We're both right



ETA: As you can see I tested some of the missiles; next door's cat got a bit of a shock.

I had been looking for Diamonds in the Sky for years. Guy managed to get hold of it. He's a Genius lol !

On the related videos column on YouTube there's the full Fighters episode narrated by Anthony Quayle. Which is nice.
