Channel 4’s latest documentary, Top Guns: Inside the RAF, is set to take viewers on a riveting journey through the skies, offering an intimate look behind the scenes at RAF Lossiemouth.
This six-part series, to premiere on Monday 21st August at 9pm, spotlights the pivotal role of RAF Lossiemouth in defending the UK’s airspace and maritime territory.
Aviation aficionados and those curious about the UK’s defence mechanisms will undoubtedly find the series gripping.
Group Captain Jim Lee, the Station Commander at RAF Lossiemouth, expressed his immense pride in the documentary. He remarked, “It has been a huge effort over the last 11 months to make this documentary series, and I want to extend a huge thanks to all those who have played their part. The series celebrates the entire team here at RAF Lossiemouth.”
Lee went on to emphasise the broader message of the documentary: “Not only does it showcase the teamwork, skills, and commitment of everyone within Team Lossie, but it also casts a spotlight on the critical role they play in safeguarding our nation – in the air, over the sea, and on land – both domestically and internationally.”
Top Guns: Inside the RAF provides a unique insight into the daily domestic and international operations at one of the busiest stations of the Royal Air Force. The inaugural episode airs tonight on Channel 4 at 9pm.
That should be worth watching, especially if you happen to be a Russian Pilot to get an idea of how to fly fast jets correctly!
Perhaps Poland can give them a few flying lessons as the agressor squadron 😅
Poland receives first FA-50s into service21 AUGUST 2023
“Poland has received into service the first of 48 Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) FA-50 Fighting Eagle light combat aircraft.
The induction of the first two aircraft was announced by the Polish Minister of National Defence, Mariusz Błaszczak, at Mińsk Mazowiecki on 21 August. Błaszczak was speaking ahead of the Radom Air Show 2023, where the jets will be formally presented to the Polish Air Force.”

RAF Lossiemouth is one huge nuclear target for the Russians, who have repeatedly threatened the UK with a nuclear strike for our support of the Ukraine.
The behemoth that is the British MoD moves slowly, but the fact that nuclear strike warning sirens are now being tested at our miitary bases shows that at least some of them are aware of the risks we run in poking the Russian bear.
Some of the politicians who “manage” the defence establishment are starting to wake up to this threat – we are now rehearsing RAF dispersal. It would be good to see the MoD making a supreme effort and getting another 25 Typhoons airworthy – with trained pilots and the latest radars. Doing so would send a clear message to the war criminals Putin, Shoigu and Gerasimov.
