I obtained a digital version from Aardman two years ago for use at the Reno 2012 SSA convention. I had collected a number of new and old soaring videos including "Liftin' The Blues" and rolled them into one massive video that runs 2:36.

Logistics prevented it from being shown in 2012, but the SSA allocated said movie room at this year's convention where the same collection was shown, including the Cloudstreet trailer. The movie room became kind of a "take a break" room where people could absorb soaring, esp. spouses and soaring people who were tired of talking and standing!

Terms with Aardman preclude me from distributing the instance I have.

The 2015 convention may have a movie room, but I don't know of the plans.

Maybe one of the leads there would get you a copy.

This film was produced and directed by Dave Sproxton of Aardman Animations,

who are based in Bristol, UK. It was a 1 hour film made at the 1988

Standard Class Nationals at the Bristol & Gloucestershire Gliding Club,

Nympsfield. I happen to know this because I did some of the air to air

filming with a fixed camera mounted on the fuselage of my LS3a.



I'm sure you could get a copy from Aardman - they have a website with

contact details:

I don't think the film is available in DVD, but I have an original VHS

copy.



Hope this helps.
