Crazy size, but well done for digitizing that document.

Thanks. Just for information this PDF has always been 'digitized' as such but I guess you meant that. Yes there are some issues still with the PDF such as old embedded videos that will not play with Acrobat Reader DC because Adobe did not keep the promise of keeping old [video] versions of a PDF compatible with new READER versions. ACROBAT itself will play the videos but not many people have the full version. Work started on this PDF some fifteen or so years ago so it did not happen overnight. Work stopped every now and then because of glitches in the PDF or the current ACROBAT version at the time could not deal with it all. Now in Windows 10 with the standalone Adobe Acrobat 2017 things go well but it is slow to save/resave. <sigh> Slowly embedded videos have been put online at: https://www.youtube.com/user/SpazSinbad2/videos?view_as=public which can no longer be updated with the NEW site updatable: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwqC_s6gcCVvG7NOge3qfAQ/videos?view_as=subscriber Putting embedded videos online frees up file size for MORE text/graphic PAGES. This work is ongoing. The CRAZY file size was for archiving on a DVD. Do people still have computers that can burn/play DVDs? I have thought of just increasing the file size rather than keeping it at 4.4Gb but I still have ADSL2 so uploading said PDF takes some 19 hours and takes over the computer for that time which I don't appreciate. NBN has just arrived in my area but I have an ID glitch which I won't probably overcome during the COVID-19 crisis.

Circa 1979 documentary about the RAN FAA at that time aboard HMAS Melbourne during an exercise with New Zealand. It is sometimes very scripted with radio calls NO ONE would make but are there for the film, with some edits that are ??? However one may see the A4G in action along with the S2EG Trackers, Sea King ASW Helos and Wessex converted to SAR. Sea Eagles https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=94ki39pQZIM
