Here in the USA we can't see any of the wonderful programs you in the UK have on television. NBC tried to make a program about F-15 training, and made an episode of MTV Real Life (the most unreal program you have ever seen!).

The British are just so much better at making "you were there" documentaries which dont insult the viewers intelligence. (Maybe its just having a father who was an Indian Air Force pilot and still uses "Dash it" and "Bang On" in his conversation!)

The only one I have seen is "Test Pilot" the BBC documentary of ETPS around 1985. I have the "books accompanying the BBC/ITV/ etc presentation of X" for the rest

Is there some way to obtain these videos?Will some kind soul point me towards viewing heaven? The ones I am interested in are
1. Test Pilot
2. Fighter Pilot
3. Top Gun (29 Sqn in Canada)
4. Flying Soldiers (AAC pilot training)

And now off course
5. Combat Pilot and
6. Spitfire Ace

I would pay good money for these!

Cheers
