With the sad passing of Windsor Davies, I thought it appropriate to share one of his lesser-known works. This RAF training film has Windsor, in full Army Sergeant-Major persona, telling his Air Force counterparts how (not) to behave in an around a Hardened Aircraft Shelter, or HAS - concrete successors to hangars, ostensibly bomb-, bullet- and rocket-proof, but equally vulnerable and dangerous to the fallible bags of mostly water that work in and around them. Oh, and nowadays we also have things like guided weapons that would find the holes in these things and make bigger holes. The film points out very serious hazards in a humorous way, but isn't afraid to turn on the gravitas when necessary, and Windsor never breaks stride. Also interesting (and maybe a little poignant) to note this was made almost exactly 30 years ago.
