Having made a reputation for himself as a bit of a daredevil, the late John Noakes continued to risk life and limb in this series. This edition saw him join the famous aerial stunt team the Red Arrows, sitting in on their debriefing and taking part in a simulated flying lesson. He's also a passenger in a practice display before helping the groundcrew prepare for a big show.
First Broadcast 11th April 1976.

A smile on my face as I watched this with the great music. So lucky to be a child in the 1970s. That's where I live now, in the past. I can't stand the world in 2023, frankly speaking. John Noakes was great.

This guy was genuinely as tough as teak. A real character sadly gone but never forgotten ❤

BBC at its best. And this was for us kids at the time. I remember Noakes on Wogan in the early 90's suggesting a show for the over 60's with an super active theme. Maybe not the Red Arrows, but alas nothing came of it.

What a documentary, if you're reading the comments prior to watching, just watch it! What a group of people, from Noakes, Camera / Sound crew to the RAF / Red Arrows and Support. Just imagining the hurdles to put a camera in a cockpit pulling that G Load and getting it through review boards etc must be a feat as much as the flying! Thanks for posting it.

He was a proper madman. The things he used to do. He was a unique and very working class, you never see that especiallly now. For me he was "blue peter". R.i.p John.

You just brought back one of my most favourite childhood memories. If you have any more it would be great if you could post them. I am so fortunate to be the exact age that benefitted from the golden three of blue peter.

I remember the episode where John was grass skiing '' Along the South Down'' which was aired on Sunday the 3 December 1978. He kept falling down as he tried to ski down the hill.

The opening music is an arrangement of On Ilkey Moor (bar t’at) ... bar t’at’ is translated for non-Yorkshire folk as “Bar the hat” - without your hat.
