Produced by the Australian Civil Aviation Authority approx 1992, "Going Around" is an excellent resource. 32 mins long- I have saved it as 6 WMV files for you to view or download. Windows Media player and a Broadband connection are recommended for best viewing.

If you want the original much higher quality version, I have put it onto DVD. Please contact me and I will send you the DVD for the average price of world postage ($US10 airmail)
