The timing doesn’t seem to fit that well. The hyperlinked report dates from 2019; the series was supposed to be broadcast in 2020; and we are now in 2021. Or maybe that’s just the protracted way in which the BBC operates these days!

Addendum: wikipedia says that: ‘It was announced in March 2021 that filming had begun on the six part miniseries [SAS: Rogue Heroes]’.

That looks a good prospect – thanks

There is a DH Rapide on the set as well, not sure if part of this production.

It’s the two Aerolegends aircraft – they passed over Maidstone yesterday morning and Shoot Aviation have posted photos on their social media of the two aircraft at White Waltham.
