Against the Clock in British Airspace | S1 E4 | Our Stories

The peaceful calm of a clear blue sky masks the reality of the thriving air transport network buzzing above our heads. From the huge jets ferrying tourists around the globe to the tiny one-man glider, everyone must jostle for space, creating an ever-present threat of disaster. Behind the controls of the flying machines are the human stories of exhausted pilots, air ambulance heroes and enthusiastic amateurs. Mirroring the road networks, the skies are carefully managed by a team of dedicated professionals. One day they're dealing with international terrorism another day it's mischievous drones. The sky's the limit in this beautiful, gripping, inspirational documentary series.
