Has anyone else watched Skies Over Britain? It's currently showing on BBC 4 on thursday evenings at 8:00pm. This is the third week (previous ones can still be seen on catch-up) and featured airliners / ATC at Heathrow, also when the AN225 visited Doncaster. They also followed a Pitts Special aerobatic duo; skydiving at Hibaldstow, and hot air ballooning at Bristol. Something for everyone. I think it's well worth a watch.

... and don't forget this one that's up and coming.
‘Fighter Pilot: The Real Top Gun’ is a new ITV three-part series starting Tuesday 20th August 2019 between 2100-2200.
“This new documentary series follows a trio of fighter pilot recruits as they attempt to become the best of the best – to be selected to fly the RAF’s brand new F35 Lightning jet.
With exclusive access to the Royal Air Force’s brand new £100 million F35 fighter programme and to the Ministry Of Defence’s fast jet recruitment process, this series goes inside the cockpit to bring viewers a vivid insight into the challenges faced by the men and women who aim to become the UK military’s top guns.
The series features a close-up perspective on those on the learning curve aiming to reach the top as well as on already qualified fighter pilots training to fly the massively advanced new F35 aircraft. With just a few months to get ready for the front line, their task is to be fitted up for space-age new suits and helmets, to learn how to steer with their feet – and to familiarise themselves with a jet that can avoid radar, hover, and land vertically.”

Saw Episodes 2 & 3 of the Skies above Britain - not bad but definitely a repeat- thought number three with the spotter who was a taxi driver at night and spotted during the day was quite good- he collected model planes, and just took hundreds of photographs at Luton. Got very excited about the An225 going into Doncaster- and drove up to see it- the best day of his life.  Bob
