OK it's not quite a documentary but a clip from a local news show, but anyway, I for one have never seen (or even heard of) this before, and I am a pretty assiduous searcher for all things Incantations and Througham related:

https://www.macearchive.org/films/atv-today-27051980-mike-oldfield

Shows some intriguing clips of a (pre Incantations issue) Mike talking about selling Througham Slad. The date seems wrong though, as Incantations was issued in December 1978, so I would guess this is from May 1978 rather than May 1980 per the title? Also he talks about having been there for 2 1/2 years, and (I think) he moved there in late 1975 after the release of Ommadawn?

Does anyone know if the US planes ever arrived at Fairford. It seems to be a regularly used airbase, but it's over 20 miles away, so I can't help wondering if Mike moved for nothing, which would be a great shame.

Also, looks like he badly needed a gardener...

Thank you for posting that! It was great watching. Makes me want to go to England again.

I wonder if this clip has the music removed, since there are long silent passages.
