If you type "BBC one life" into google you get the following:
The straight facts on teen issues including sexual health, drugs and relationships.
However, if you type 'one life' into Radiotimes.com you get the following:
Above Enemy Lines
The men of the RAF's 27 Squadron are in Afghanistan for a tour of duty. For two months, they will be flying missions around the notorious frontline of Helmand Province, where British troops are engaged daily in ferocious battles with a resurgent Taliban. In this intimate film featuring cockpit footage, we follow the pilots and crewmen for the duration of their tour, as they deliver troops, food and ammunition, and rescue injured British troops while under enemy fire.
I'm sure the first search result would make interesting viewing, but the second sounds pretty good too!
.......and plans123, it looks like you're right, not too much coverage of the groundcrew. A one off 45 minute documentary can only focus on so much though. Recent British Army documentaries haven't focused on the vehicle mechanics, but no-one bats an eye-lid - just a thought.
