The implication in the Documentary was that the RAF did the lions share which has to be untrue surely?
Also no B-47s or B-36 footage or did I nod off? Agree about the Jet Provost [including smily presenter] footage being far too long. RB-45 footage from Sculthorpe was excellent.
DH110 footage brought back some buried memories of the screams as the wreckage hit the crowded slopes behind my viewpoint.
I think the title expectation was that of all Cold War jets but, as a British programme I guess emphasis on the British angle, especially the lead we had, made it inevitable that there would be a British bias.
There was B52 footage but more as a scene setter.
