The reason behind it is that the BBC did some amazing series in the eighties. I’ve only seen snipets of Fighter Pilot (i’ve got the book though) and Test Pilot on Youtube, my grandad has three episodes of Reaching for the skies on video. I think BBC 4 would be a better channel to show stuff like this.
And another series that i’d like to see again (this time on Channel 4) would be Classic Aircraft. I’ve got five episodes (i don’t know how many were made).:D
