"The RAF College 60's film"
Instructions
There are 2 ways to access the 1961 film

Notes
1. If you have a slow internet connection the film may be slow to download - (It is best watched with a computer connected to a large screen TV.)
2. None of the cadets featured in this film were members of 89 despite the drill in the junior mess looking a bit like 89A's & the flying like 89B's!
3. Post 1970 viewers will note that there is not a female in sight - not strictly true since they were allowed on college grounds twice a term (with heavy military escort)!
4. Reel 1 is only the first part of the story and comes to an abrupt end when the Navigators get lost in their "Pig" - Typical !!!!
5. When Reel 1 finishes Click "X" in the top right hand corner to return to the website and then click Reel 2 below to view the final part of your 3 year sojourn at the RAF College Cranwell.
