Dr FOD and the Wayward Body(Old Thread 2007)

no sign of Dr. Fod yet. I managed to get a copy, but the original tape must have been quite badly damaged as the digital copy was nasty. Not something you could use…….

was that the ‘human factors’ one? stressed pilot, late take off, big smoking hole in the ground? I only vaguely remember it. I think it was supposed to be set in Germany…. I THINK…

Pretty sure it was Belize. I think (and that is something for someone as hard of thinking as me) that the fat taxi driver in Eastenders played the part of the Line Chief.

Anyway.Whole chain of events leading up to O’Sullivan forgetting to pull the seat pins. ground troops in contact, off he goes in for Close Air Support, scares some birds in the jungle canopy which stuff themselves down the intake, engine stops and no way for the man to get out.

I thought the Hawk one was at shot at St Athan. It was the only one I could show which would get trainees to stay awake. that is until I had a predominantly female course!

Anybody rescued a copy yet for err ‘technical training’ !! 😉 🙂

Never mind about that old git!! 😀 who played the very delectable Miss Wayward Body;) 😉

after extensive research i’ve found its Monica Thimme also appeared in german playboy june or july 1976 lets just say hairy haha

I love these old-fashioned films, many of them are simple, direct, and memorable. Many of them are a little corny and dramatic, but I think that helps get the attention of some people’s personalities.

I’ve never been in the Navy, but I have seen a clip of it in the Air Force. I posted the short clip that’s in very bad condition on my page before I realized there was a longer and better version already posted there. Oh well.

Similar military safety films.

See if these safety videos bring back some memories, if not it might be educational.

Yup, rememberthat one. I’ve often wondered if they were available to the general public.

dr Fod et al was alot more memorable mainly due to the helpful ladys….

What about Richard O’Sullivan as a Harrier pilot, does that ring a bell with anyone?

With the Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart out of Dr Who in it as well (Nicholas Courtney), In fact I think Courtney did a couple of Flight Safety films as a kind of Wg Cdr Spry.

Saw it at work 2 months ago.

I will see about it!!!

And as she wrapped her legs around the radar bullet and slid into a Lightning air intake!!!

i can still remember vividly remember when DR FOD and miss Wayward body came to Valley to do a shoot for flight safety posters in the early 80’s….you can imagine the reaction when a rather fit miss wayward body walked through the line hut clad only in a basque and stockings, and then proceeded to pose all over a hawk! its the only time i’ve ever seen a FLM ask the controller for a job!

Aaaaah …Dr FOD etc etc

Remember this being one of the many Flight Safety films we sat through whilst I was on UAS.

If I remember correctly Dr FOD was played by the chap who was Catweazle in the TV series – Geoffrey Bayldon – and it had a terrifically 70’s view of politically correct attire for the young ladies!

I know some of the Royal Navy/FAA instructional stuff has been released on DVD by the Imperial War Museum. Some excellent aircraft footage on those.

Aah, the good old films. I remember them well.
If you do find them do drop me a line as I would be interested in them too.
I’m also looking for a copy of “Blue spear, the movie” shot at Marham in ’86.

Cheers,
