Documentary
The story of the Red Arrows squadron, the world's most elite acrobatic display team, as it creates a new jaw-dropping display and embarks on a challenging worldwide season.
A new team leader comes on board in the Autumn of 2017, and it will be his job to design and develop fresh and ambitious manoeuvres for the 2018 season, which marks the RAF's 100th anniversary.
Two pilots attempt their high-raising head-to-head manoeuvres for the first time, as the team begin their intense winter training ahead of the RAF's Centenary celebrations. And the engineers who fly back-seat also start their own training.
The new team attempt the most daunting manoeuvre of all - rollbacks. Pilot Toby must master low-level flying upside down, and the entire team undergo their annual sea survival training.
One of the jets crashes, resulting in the tragic death of the engineer on board. The display pilot also sustains a serious injury in the process. The team struggle to rebuild, but they still have to preform, and a replacement pilot is drafted in.
Eight top fighter pilots dreaming of joining the Red Arrows are put through an intense week of flying tests and interviews. One of the Arrows is forced to make an emergency landing.
The Red Arrows face their toughest test to prove they are good enough to display to the public. Their summer season begins with one of the highest profile appearances in their history - A royal flypast over London.

Get Some In! is a British comedy series set in the 1950's that focused on the Royal Air Force National Service. The show was broadcast between 1975 and 1978 by Thames Television. Scripts were by John Esmonde and Bob Larbey, the team behind the BBC TV sitcom The Good Life. The programme drew its inspiration from late 1950s/early 1960s National Service situation-comedy The Army Game, and from nostalgic BBC TV sitcom Dad's Army, but the RAF setting gave it enough originality not to seem formulaic. Thirty-four half-hour episodes were made. The series has never been repeated in full on terrestrial TV, although the UKTV Gold cable channel has aired the episodes uncut.
