The world's greatest aerobatic team

The Red Arrows are much more than nine RAF officers doing their duty. They are heirs to 60 years of flying history. At Kemble in Gloucestershire they train for four months to create their famous aerobatic display.

"We are trying to show people in this country and abroad what the RAF is all about." (Sqn-Ldr Ian Dick)

This film was made during their training season, when they pit their skill against the dangers of high-speed aerobatics. It was made while the Red Arrows prepared for their summer programme and for their first tour of the United States of America.

Bette Davis talks to Dick Cavett
"If I had my life over again I wouldn't marry so early and I'd make sure it was someone with money."
"It's an old-fashioned idea, but I think acting should look as though we're working a little."
One of Hollywood's all-time super stars talks about the qualities needed for a successful career in films - qualities which helped her to become the queen of Hollywood. In a programme recorded for the award-winning Dick Cavett Show Bette Davis talks about her life in show business and discusses with wit and candour the Hollywood of her hey-day.
