Quite enjoyed the programme but a few bits were very annoying. The "progressive comm" was appalling and did not show the RAF in a good light. Is 4 Sqn full of Ex Harrier "mates"?

We used to have to wear flying gloves and have covered arms for fire protection. Is there no longer a fire risk or is discipline so lax that not wearing flying gloves is ignored?

So much more could be made of the programme to show the RAF in a good light.

Showing the F35 failing to load personal software was not a great advert for our newest fighter. Surely the RAF PR guys should have said no to that being shown. There must be so much better footage available from Beaufort?
