For almost the whole of 2002, 208 Squadron was host to a BBC documentary team as they followed the progress of one of our courses from Groundschool through to the end of the Tactical Weapons training on 19 Squadron. It was a fascinating year, which resulted in the 6-part BBC2 series ‘Combat Pilot’, which was broadcast nationally in early 2004, to very favourable reviews. Certainly, it gives a detailed insight into the Squadron’s activities at the time and, I hope, will be a valuable historic record.
Page 2 contains the final 2 episodes of the Series (the 19(F) Squadron bit).
