I really enjoyed the program, which seemed a lot shorter and quicker than the 90 mins it took to watch! However, the areas left out were marked. No Coastal Command, no Maritime, no Burma, no NEAF, no FEAF, no North Africa, no inter-war, no air defence, only a hint of the cold war, a hint at transport, a hint the helo force, a hint at the Falklands but only a well deserved contribution from a from bona mate, no AEW, very little of any support function, eg. RAF Regiment, ATC, met, firemen, Signals, armourers, fairies, airframes, engines, scuffers, suppliers, chefs, stewards, batties, MT, medics, dentists, pardres, int, linguists, imagery analysts, communications, admin, lineys, edjucamaters, stewards, squippers, sooties, sim techs, photogs, kennel maids, along with many others that do not readily spring to mind. (Oops,- add movers). The ladies of the ATA, fascinating, but a very peripheral part of the RAF, featured too much. This program would appear to be a perfect overture for a much more detailed work. A good and promising start with much potential for advancement, should the opportunities presented be grasped fully.
