This along with its sequel “Bomber pilot” was on Channel 4 a few years ago.
It’s been repeated on terrestrial TV once but was never released on DVD so I think a Blu ray disc is a fairly remote possibility.
I recorded the repeat and it has old “bend ’em Brendon’s” classic phrase to his student “make love to the sky, dont Sh*g it !” edited out, spoilsports.:diablo:
