At the time of filming, as the intellgence officer at Ali Al Salem airbase, the embedded BBC crew were seen as an intrusion but now, nearly 20 years later, I'd love to see this again.
The RAF element of the programme featured OC 9 Sqn mostly but we had amalgamated into a Combat Air Wing, under the Command of OC 31 Sqn, so we felt it misrepresented the leadership at the time. This film captured the planning and preparation for a sortie in which one of the crew lost their lives due to friendly fire. This was incredibly hard at the time but I would give anything to see this footage again and it is my available anywhere.
