TOP GUNS: INSIDE THE RAF

Top Guns: Inside the RAF is a 6 x 60’ observational documentary series that follows the men and women based at the Royal Air Force’s frontline Lossiemouth airbase in northern Scotland.

Home to fast jet fighter bombers and long-range maritime patrol aircraft, Top Guns: Inside the RAF takes us in to the cockpit, flight deck and station HQ as the crews defend Britain’s skies from any threat.

Whether that’s policing NATO airspace in the skies over eastern Europe; patrolling the North Sea hunting suspicious Russian warships or deployed to carry out the fight against Daesh in the Middle East, this series takes us to the frontline and shows what life is really like for the service personnel at the heart of the UK’s defence.
