I think the series will go down well. If I could wish for two improvements:

1. I think the programme makers should explain what they’re talking about. It would take 10-15 seconds to show high grade animations/CGI of a battle turn or rotate...and another 2 to say that it’s a way of manoeuvring a formation and maintaining mutual support.

2. I think all the filler footage should be relevant. The programme reused the same VRIAB or flat turn footage to accompany various bits of verbage. It was a little lazy to have the aeroplane turning different ways in the cut from HUD to external view.

I can only assume the somewhat progressive comm between cockpits was supplied by the ‘youthful’ instructor rather than the two ‘experienced’ gentlemen.
