A six part series takes viewers behind-the-wire at RAF Lossiemouth. It follows Team Lossie personnel as they deploy to Estonia on Operation Azotize and RAF Akrotiri on Operation Shader.

Just watched episode 2 and I reckon it is a good production.

Episode 2 was excellent. A good combination of ground and air operations editing. I thought the Lossie Station Warrant Officer was very gentlemanly in dealing with those preparing for the Remembrance parade. There were certainly no punches pulled in detailing the responsibility heaped on Typhoon pilots overhead Syria - very sobering I thought.

G-CPTN…. Both programmes are online at All4. A bit of a kerfuffle signing up to watch but only takes a couple of minutes.

I was most impressed by the SWO. A creature I have learnt to fear. :))

I got it on You tube yesterday but can't today!
