Thanks for posting the links.
I hadn't seen or heard of this series before. I thought it was very well done. The 410 Sqn staff seem to have struck a really good balance between gung-ho and sensible. They are turning out fighter pilots with a strong sense of commitment and belonging, without turning them into the type that have an ego the size of the Grand Canyon. It's great to see such an emphasis on safety and professional flying standards over being simply a 'good handler'. I found myself rooting for all the students from the first episode while also being impressed by the quality of instructors there.
I found it unusual that the Course Director was Australian and the Commander was British. However it appeared to work very well and brought an interesting dynamic to the interactions.
I really enjoyed it. Well worth watching.
Cheers
