I can remember when 208 Sqn used to fly Buccs out of Lossiemouth!!

I wonder if anyone else sees the slight irony of the RAF's future FJ pilots being trained by an outfit that started out life as an RN Sqn?

I watched for the first time last night, looked good on tv, albeit some bits were predictable, e.g CCS training, no doubt all good PR - just as we are about to cut the need to recruit for a few years, great timing eh!!

Can anyone tell me if this is any more than a re-hash of the series 'Fighter Pilot' made in the 80's. i.e is it more than just a modern version of what has been done before??
