Talking

I personally think it is a brilliant series showing the young people of today a little of the good stuff that goes on in the Fleet Air Arm today and if it gets a few more through the front door then great.

Remember that all views expressed in a 'fly on the wall' documentary will be from proud young men and women most of whom still strongly believe in the product and can be allowed a little leeway with their comments of supremacy of their own machines and organisations.

Good Stuff and at least it doesn't try to find 'an angle' to slur the subject.

Angry This weeks episode of FAA

This weeks episode was a disgrace, the programme was suppose to be about the Fleet Air Arm not a type 42 Destroyer.
I'm not interested in the Sea Dart or 4.5 Shell or even the swimmer of the watch. It took the programme 28 Mins beffore it showed a Lynx to take off the deck, bloody rubbish.I was involved in the filming and what was shown was very poor and done nothing for the FAA

28 minutes to get the Lynx off the deck ?

That's not bad going!

I'm guessing the Observer didn't have any "finger trouble" and have to re-boot the piu's !

Not the most shining example of media I have ever seen I must confess. Maybe they were trying to give the FAA some sort of context and over did it a bit. I suppose that is what editors are for.

Lovely Warship though!

Without the Sea Jet, Sea Dart will be the RN's main defence against air threats for the next few years..........so maybe that makes it relevent?

I'm glad someone agreed with me, thank you Devil's
As for Sea Dart who cares! You were missing the point of the programme WE branch person it was suppose to be about the FAA and the Navies primary weapon system i.e Lynx....

Editing was dreadful nuff said

BBQ in the rain, can't beat it on the back end of a stumpy!

28 mins off the deck wasn't bad for those OOW's

petefreak,

"This weeks episode was a disgrace, the programme was suppose to be about the Fleet Air Arm not a type 42 Destroyer"

Excuse me, but which part of the 'Fleet Air Arm' don't you understand??

Does the Lynx just appear over the horizon from nowhere; fully fuelled, armed and bagratted on its own?

Is it too much to acknowledge the special relationship that exists between a ship and its helicopter, and allow a little bit of light to be shone on those that support every flying minute?

Exclamation

My point was dear friend that the programme is suppose to be about the FAA, i.e first programme was about the SHAR second was about the Junglies and the fourth was about the Hawk.The third programme which was suppose to involve the Lynx was more about the Sea Dart and SOW....

Get my point?
