‘Britain’s Ultimate Pilots: Inside the RAF’ [21:00, BBC Two] showcases the work of the Red Arrows, the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight, the Chinook Display Team and the Typhoon Display Team during the 2015 display season.
As I feared .... so Display Flying (and I have done a little of that) is what "Ultimate Pilots" do.....

I don't think so...... not the best curtain raiser to SDSR 15

I'll stick with Deadliest Catch on Discovery. Proper 'Ard Nuts'.

"The way things are going it will be "Britain's Penultimate Pilots"!

As Wilde said to Whistler "I wish I'd said that."

To which Whistler famously replied:

"You will Oscar, you will!"

Watched the Chinook episode last night. Noticed that the instruments and glass screens were 'blurred out'.... What's that all about then?

Are the Beeb scared we might find out where Odiham is? Or what speed a Chinook flies at? Don't want to invade the privacy of a Chinook?

It's often a lot easier to just pixelate the screens than to carefully review every second of video to make sure something classified/sensitive is not inadvertently broadcast
