It was well reviewed in the Telegraph and I enjoyed it too.

‘It’s going to be quite an adventure,” said Ewan McGregor at the outset of RAF at 100 with Ewan and Colin McGregor (BBC One) and you couldn’t help believing it. The introductory sequence had just held out the soul-stirring prospect of First World War biplanes in mock combat, a dogfight between a Spitfire and its Second World War arch-rival the Me  109, and a Cold War-era Vulcan bomber in flight.

It was all my Airfix-inspired childhood dreams made real, and the tantalising promise of an armchair ride in one of the world’s most advanced jet fighters as well. What I wasn’t anticipating was how moving this documentary, presented by the film star and his former RAF fighter-pilot brother, would be in parts.
