Although AIRFORCE included the unit's promising, if ragged, interpretation of the Peter Yarrow and Paul Stookey song, Man Of Constant Sorrow, the set was marked by the leader's predilection for lengthy percussive interludes.
The departures of Winwood, Wood, McNair, Kabaka and Seaman undermined an already unstable act and although the remains were augmented by eight new members, AIRFORCE 2 was a largely undistinguished collection.
Having dissolved the band, Baker moved to Lagos to study African drumming, while Bond and Stewart pursued elements of the Airforce sound in a new venture, Holy Magick.

 BBC - Jazz Review - Various Artists, Impressed 2 - with Gilles Peterson
When not paying the rent (that's Harold McNair's flute you heard on the Top of the Pops theme in the 1970s), these musicians were the mainstay of a scene that flowered creatively during the radical 1960s but wasn't as yet entirely dominated by the United States.
Other high points are the hard swinging bop of groups led by Paul Gonsalves (not himself British but together with a British group) and Harold McNair, who might have gone on to greater things had it not been for an untimely death from cancer.
The last word belongs to Mike Westbrook; the line-up for "Metropolis" reads like a who's who of British jazz with Kenny Wheeler, Harry Beckett and John Taylor all present.
