A very poor programme.

Not enough about the 'RAF at 90', which was the title after all. Most of it was history, with random speaking clock recordings over modern film of Docklands, long pauses whilst veterans wandered around an old airfield and looked over the railings of a cross channel ferry. Only the last 5 minutes or so covered modern overseas ops and gave a false impression due to the way the film was put together. I don't think JP had any sort of prepared script, judging by the number of pauses, repetition and umm....errs.....

Some of the most interesting clips showed the Cup Final when the zeppelin appeared low overhead.

And to think the programme had official blessing
