The problem with the segment was that they were trying hard to portray something very interesting whilst carefully avoiding saying or showing anything interesting. We all know the reason, but it did not make good TV. As for the rest, it was just documenting what was happening at the time. That's why it's called a documentary. If you want an all-action war film you're watching the wrong programme.
Really? I was under the impression that the 2 Nimrod prototypes were converted from unfinished Comet 4 airframes, but that the production MR1s were all new build airframes, and the MR2s and R1s were converted from MR1s.
