Another enjoyable programme to advertise the RN. Overall well put together, however, the Director was a little carried away with the air attack sequence. A shame to use repeated footage from a recent "Thursday War", if they still happen. I suppose the odd Hawk attack is all they may expect. Since the RN has few fixed wing ac and the RAF not many more the mass air attacks over an extended period are a thing of the past.
The crew seem to dislike the Russian aircraft getting so close, (about 1/2 a mile or 1000ft as far as I could see)!!! Recall the 70s,80s,90s at the Akrotiri Buoy. Any Soviet/Russian ship on the buoy could expect a "flyby" every 10 minutes almost throughout the day. Down the beam at 50 footish or over the top at 600+ kts were all in a days play. It was expected by Episkopi that we would "show a presence". Thank goodnees it was prior to cell phones the internet and YouTube!!
