A brilliant piece of period footage, with gorgeous shots of the Hunters and Javelins.
I enjoyed the hush-hush references to the up and coming Lightning and the general caution re aircraft performances.
WWII had only recently drawn to a close, so it was a pleasure to see the 'older' fighter pilots, inc. Douglas Bader, chewing the fat re the changes in tactics from their day.

I have to admit to some wry amusement, with the ex-RAF officer, acting as a presenter, trying to come to terms with a girly in the cockpit of the Javelin and then someone obviously from 'a far-flung part of the Empire'!

From a modelling viewpoint, it was nice to see the bellies of both Hunter and Javelin completely free from streaks and stains.

Great link and thank you.
