“Top Guns – Inside the RAF” series two

The new series two of the TV documentary “Top Guns – Inside the RAF” is now being broadcast on TV, with episode one having gone out on 4th February. The first series focussed on RAF Lossiemouth and its people, and this series showcases the operations conducted by the aircraft and personnel of RAF Coningsby and Waddington.

Chanel 4 has said that the series “takes viewers back into the skies, command centres and hangars as the RAF crews continue to defend Britain’s skies from threats at home and abroad. With exclusive access to RAF Coningsby and RAF Waddington in Lincolnshire, the spiritual county home of bomber command, Top Guns series two flies back to the frontline as squadrons experience ever increasing pressure and demands. Cameras inside the cockpit bring the audience into the very heart of the battle, from secret spy missions over Syria, precision strikes against terrorists in Yemen, and intercepting Iranian drones threatening Israel. We follow key characters in the air and on the ground at the RAF’s busiest operational airbases in the UK and abroad, at a time of high stakes and high drama.”

The series focusses on frontline operations, although there is a small element of BBMF-related content.
