Remember the TV series yonks ago about a mixed force of aircraft types? Autonomous AD/SA? In the 80s I think, maybe even the 70s.
BBC series 'Squadron'. Starred Malcolm Stoddard as the CO of '373 Squadron' and ran in 1982. The squadron had a flight of GR3s, one of Phantoms and another of Hercules (but, IIRC, lost the Phantoms in a round of defence cuts)

I recall this since I wrote a TV review of some of the series for a school project on 'my favourite Television programmes this year'.
