Inside the RAF

There’s nothing like a career in the RAF, so we’re once again giving Channel 4 viewers an exclusive look at what life’s really like in the force.

From inside the cockpits of fast jet fighter-bombers to first-time filming of top secret bases; the second series follows our pilots, engineers and armourers as they continue to protect the UK at home and overseas.
