  1. The dramatic backround music is the most potent weapon in the video. I found myself saluting my own computer monitor, rather embarrassingly at work…

    • I’m pretty sure they took this step 2 and a half years ago. Much more advanced pilot training has taken place since then.

  2. I can’t wait to see the New Carriers and F35B in place and operational it’s what the UK needs right now ! :-)…and we have new Patrol aircraft and frigates too….I want to re enlist already.
