Heli Student Documentary
I have searched all the forums before writing this, hopefully one of you can help!
Either BBC or ITV ran a documentary series (late '80s I think), on a team of Heli students going through their PPL(H) with the RAF or Navy.
Would really love to get hold of a copy of the series as it inspired me to learn in the first place!
Anybody remember it? If so, can you remember the title or do you have a copy?

Hi Rotorspin
If it's the documentary I think you're talking about, it was a BBC programme called 'Flying Soldiers'. There was a book that accompanied too. I think I taped it but is scattered over a number of tapes somewhere.
Hope it helps,I may be able to dig it up...

The book that accompanied the series is ' Flying soldiers'
Published by BBC Books, 1995.

I don't know if the series was ever available on video, but I don't think so.

Cheers SEL and Heliport, that is definately the series - remember the title now you have prompted me!
If anybody does have a good copy of the series, let me know as I have a video - DVD unit, so will return your VHS tapes with a DVD for your collection!
Would love to watch it again!
