It is a strange statement considering it was free for anyone to see on the ITV webpage.... I think we are safe !

If I saw it, no doubt many thousand others saw it, and how are the statement makers going to enforce that. Much ado about nothing. Looking forward to a modern day insight into fast jet flyers.

Looks interesting.
There will be a far better documentary though, on the BBC, which follows Cdr Nathan Gray in America through the testing phase of F-35B, and follows him out to HMSQE for the first every carrier landing.

I don't suppose there will be a part in the part in the programme, where they deploy across the Atlantic, and we can hear the immortal line, "Talk to me Goose".

My wife's cousin has composed the soundtrack for the programme and he's just tweeted the following You-Tube link for a trailer for the programme:

Thought it was really good, enjoyed it. Mind you think I missed a wee bit in the middle but must say enjoyed what I saw.

Any idea why the documentary makers shaded out the serial numbers on the Hawks?
