Rather half-hearted effort at showing the passage of a group of Air Cadets through basic training in the 1950s at RAF Cranwell. There are no surprises, the roles are all pretty weak and the two leads Ray Milland and Kenneth Haigh fail miserably to conjure any passion into the 'dramatic' events that involve them both. Really, the only thing worthy of note is some of the footage of the Hawker Hunters and de Havilland Vampires and concomitant vehicles and equipment, but even ardent admirers of such things will probably long for an edited version the film where the storyline doesn't keep on interrupting the aesthetics.
