Zeppelins were mainly used over England at night.

Pathetic over acting

Dreadful series.

As an Aussie who went to school in Kent between 73-77 I made some observations at Huntleys boys school Tunbridge Wells. English class system, a cluster fuck when it came to giving talented people an opportunity. My accent is better than yours even though we are both English. Johny Rotten was right. Born Aussie with Scottish DNA.

This is the silliest episode so far and a sign that the storywriters were beginning to be fed up with the whole thing. That said - what's even sillier is some of the comments I read here

By 1916, Captain Owen Triggers had risen to command his squadron but was severely burned in a crash behind enemy lines during the Somme. He returned home but succumbed to his injuries in 1921. Lieutenant Alan Farmer was promoted in 1917, trained new pilots, and briefly returned to combat before being gravely wounded and discharged. He married Kate Gaylion, and had two children, but died in the 1918 influenza pandemic.

Grounded by respiratory issues in 1917, Charles Gaylion rose to Wing Commander, leading the RAF Technical School and later overseeing training during WWII. Knighted for his service, Gayle retired in 1945. Charles Gaylion visited the graves of Triggers and Farmer on each Remembrance Day for the rest of his life, leaving a Poppy on each. If asked he would say war was futile. He lived until 1963, leaving behind a large family.

Watched this first time round and also read the book on which it's based. I'm old enough to have known a few vets of fighter and bomber command and their descriptions (when you could get them to say anything at all) was much more like this than the "authorised" version.

I do hope that's a spitfire mk1b with it's cannons four bladed prop upgraded coolers in2939 a.d😮

Moggie character based on Billy Drake.

Third time watching the boys. The acting is great- sad that Tim Woodward died last year.

History recorded,every minor detail in RED BLOOD, Film reminds us RED BLOOD still flows from those who forget the price of the Bottle of freedom from which the Claret was POURED,....."Lest we forget",...The real message is.........Film is cheaper than BULLETS,......... Remember the HISTORY & thank god for all who gave us their tomorrow,for our today's.............Lord Dowding's ,"CHICKs"...............Blood & sacrifice ,...from the quil of history's pen.............lest we forget...

This was a great series

Bunch of bloody tossers, thank god we had the commandos. Rather than relying on the RAF

Howdy all. i come back here every two mths. Marvellous viewing.

Just can't stand it a mark 9 shown in 1940. So fake

Snotty Frog when the British were protecting their land!

Thank you for this series. Have not seen it before. Excellent!! Greetings from Canada! Don't let this series be lost.

love the series even if the BEF did not have spitfires in France

Its well written but does show common people live happier lives than toffs.

September 1939 a Spitfire with canon?

Simmerson?!! What's he doing there?!

I must confess, as the plot developed, and the people changed, time passing, it would have been nice had the story allowed the Pilots to gain the modern plane to match the German Monoplanes

My late father joined the Royal Canadian Air Force at the age of 19 in 1939. Beware from the Hun in the sun. - Was the phrase back then :-) .

Cracking show tally ho

Peanuts 🥜

The french charachters speak french and the Germans speak ...english. Pity, it detracts from the realism.

46:23 wings the wrath of triggers

another great episode. thank you

My Grandfaher flew with No3 Squadron AFC at Bertangles in France. I would love to have him been alive to see this series, and receive his opinion compared to his service.. He only sustained damage on one occasion when, on 4.11.1917, (from his logbook) "lost in Fog, landed to find way, piece of stone fence broke prop, flew machine (a BE)back on 5/11". At that time he had flown 39 hours, 7.30 solo.His only crash was on 20/12/17 "crashed owing to heavy fog" flying an RE8. No mention of stunting or spin training in his logbook.

What an amazing series. Again, thank you very much for sharing these fine episodes.

thank you very much for posting. these are wonderful.

This reminds me very much of a previous series called “Dawn Patrol”.

I saw this series in 1990 in Indiana and told my friends in Dieppe. The pilots wanted two things: Limande for dinner and metal propellers.

this series is amazing. thank you very much for sharing them. even the little bits of pouring the milk before or after the tea and given consideration and i can't get over how wonderful the old planes were and how brave and skilled the pilots who flew them.

what great shows these are. thank you very much for sharing them.

loved it as a kid ,was just as fabulous second time around . So well made

Just another end of term boys. Get over it.!!

Oh and while I'm here, the raf, is the bastard child of of the RFC and the FAA. so jog on crabs

I enjoy the this production, but I fear the Left has hijacked the narrative. This is not sarcasm, just the adoption of the officer class. Unfortunately, I failed my A levels so I had to join with the fucking illiterate car thieves. However I joined the Senior Service

Are we supposed to care about any of these awful people? Insanely dull. More padding than my mattress.

Second season was ridiculous at times. Biggles adventures. The Lorna story arc had dried up and as very tired. Show ended just in time

I noticed a lot are Mk9 spitfires which came out a lot later in the war and a few MK5's too, again a later addition. the majority of aircraft Churchill sent to France at the beginning of the war were indeed Hurricanes, not Spitfires. However when the TV series was made over 30 years ago Hurricanes were a lot rarer than spitfires. Since this film was made More Spitfires and even Hurricanes have been rebuilt and returned to Airworthy condition! Having said all that, it's still a nostalgic trip watching a tv series I saw in my 30's, now retired and 3 years of 70 I have thoroughly enjoyed watching it (ignore my being so pedantic on Aircraft Mk Numbers etc) The clip of a spitfire flying under a bridge was really done with, `I believe Ray Hannah as the pilot.

Gaylion is a bounder

The Trigster got a fairer trial than I did in France!!

This is true. The RAF is the bastard child of the Fleet Air Arm and the RFC.

Woodward's portrayal of an upper class arse, prevalent among many officers throughout the services is spot on.!!!

What if she had been spying on the english would she have got shot there i wonder?

I watched the whole lot am on holiday and its pissing with rain so was lovely watching all this being English and living in Germany really good was difficult in those days flying shitty aeroplaves strange many years later aircraft did the bg jobs back then in WW1 was a lot different but interesting great flyer as well nice series must have had a lot of production costs well done God Bless England!

Chipping Norton mill

At the time this came out, I was in the US Navy out in the Mediterranean on the USS Forrestal repairing A-6 Intruder attack aircraft, so I missed it. I was in 4 different squadrons in my 20 year career and some things are still the same. My grandfather was in the Army Air Service as an aerial photographer flying in the rear seat of an Airco DH-4 guarding and surveilling our southern border with Mexico during WW1. This has been an excellent series. I'm now 73, and recently retired on Dec., 31st , 2023. after a 53 year career in aviation. Too bad it only had 13 episodes. 🙂
