Not a series I normally watch, but as it was made at the airfield I know very well and some scenes were in the hangar I know intimately, I was interested. Flying bits were generally well staged and nicely photographed. What was careless was the Cessna 150 suddenly becoming a Piper Cub during the supposed night time body drop. The Cub was used in a later preposterous scene where someone didn't notice a light aircraft about to fly into and kill him.
Almost as bad as the churned out 1970s US crime dramas in which aircraft continuity was laughably bad between scenes, but they were made on the cheap using stock footage. The director should get a slap on the wrist for this one, probably done to cut costs. Even non aircraft buffs would have spotted this howler. The Cessna 150 has a nose wheel, the Cub is a tail-dragger and a completely and noticeably different shape in all respects.
Having an Air Transport Auxiliary sub plot was appropriate as during the war the location airfield, White Waltham, was the organisation's headquarters.
Good supporting cast and generally enjoyable, but the perpetrator is obviously signalled really early on, so not much suspense!
