Nothing really about the ground crew and engineering, nothing about AT, AEW or Nimrod, nothing about SAR, nothing about UAVs etc. Of course 90 mins isn't long to do a single programme about the history of the RAF - should have been a series - but take McGregor's gushing out of it and they could have fitted all that in. Sorry! I must be getting grumpier in my old age!

Not for me to say, but....
Sorry it didn’t live up to your expectations, but you’re right about trying to cram a series into one 90 min programme. I enjoyed the Typhoon, especially the shots of them taking off. Reminded me of the EE Lightning with its vertical climb......
