Everyone has seen Top Gun, the movie starring Tom Cruise, but the real deal involving the RAF is about to hit TV screens.
Channel 4's latest observational documentary, Top Guns: Inside the RAF looks set to be a must-watch for aviation enthusiasts and those intrigued by the nation's defence capabilities.
The six-part series showcases the crucial role RAF Lossiemouth plays in safeguarding the UK's airspace and seas.
Group Captain Jim Lee, Station Commander, RAF Lossiemouth, said: "It has been a huge effort over the last 11 months to make this documentary series and I want to extend a huge thanks to all those who have played their part.
"I am really proud of their achievements with this series, which celebrates the whole team here at RAF Lossiemouth.
"The documentary not only showcases the teamwork, skills and commitment of everyone within Team Lossie but it also shines a public light on the critical role they play in protecting our nation – in the air, over the sea and on land – at home and abroad."
Top Guns: Inside the RAF provides an unprecedented glimpse into the day-to-day UK and global operations at one of the Royal Air Force's busiest stations.
Following Team Lossie personnel as they deploy to Estonia on Operation Azotize and RAF Akrotiri on Operation Shader, the series goes beyond the awe-inspiring aerial manoeuvres and state-of-the-art technology, delving into the collaborative efforts of the RAF with its allies and partners.
Episode 1 of Top Guns: Inside the RAF airs on Channel 4 on Monday 21 August at 21:00 BST.
