I am British and have seen thousands of films but I have never seen this.
I swear it has never been on British tv or on TCM.
I bet the script and acting are poor but would love to see these HAWKER HUNTERS.
I reckon this would sell on dvd to plane nits like me never mind the drama.

I grew in Puerto Rico and remember seeing this film in PR way back when, in the 60's or 70's in black and white. I do not know when was it posted in Turner Classic, but it was good. Not much action, no reason given what was the problem between the student pilot's father and the school commander. But it was great, introduced some British airplanes. Sorry I resurrected this old post, I saw it today 8 Feb 2016.
shareIt's been on TCM at least twice since you wrote your post. I have caught it both times during dead slots, like midweek late afternoon showings. But you're right, those jets are fantastic to watch. Retro aviation porn at its finest.
