John Sergeant celebrates one of Britains most iconic aircraft. Might be worth a watch.

Why did they have almost nothing about the ASW Seakings or the RAF SAR, and not really a lot about the HC.4 Junglies either? Quite a disappointing programme really

I thought it was quite a good programme as these go and no "howlers" that I could spot - lots of nice footage of the type in the air and some good material on significant rescues. The SS Murree rescue and Falklands operations were well recounted, I thought.

You can't have everything in an hour-long programme and you are right that there was little on the ASW or AW&C side. I imagine that unless there is a dramatic story to be told it is going to be hard to hold the average viewer (which is the target audience).
