I assume that this is an American series modified slightly for showing in the UK. Many aviation documentaries seem to fall into this category these days. There doesn’t seem to be anyone in the BBC or ITV willing to fund aviation documentaries with a British (or even European) slant.

Since the retirement of people like Raymond Baxter, British TV seems to have lost any interest or enthusiasm for British achievements in science and technology. All we ever get is a constant litany of mistakes, failures and disaster (both actual and financial). Is there a plot out there to destroy our souls?
