As I feared the footage accompanying the program was inappropriate. It would have made far more sense to have shown the Meteor in the role of a fighter than standing by a T7 and droning on. Some of the purported MiG-15 footage showed the Lavochkin La-17. No mention of the Jet Provost being a development of the Leonides Provost. Why oh why can't the TV companies (especially the BBC) bother to employ an expert to find the right footage? Somebody who served in the ROC perhaps? All in all the program was a disappointment - but are we surprised?
