Looking forward to this, I know at least one of the guys featured and it will cover stuff not normally seen when taking on brand new aircraft.

Tonights programme includes the refurbisment of G-YMMC which operated the LGW-MCO-LGW yesterday 11/9/19 - interesting to see what is involved in such a complex operation for anyone who hasn't seen this before.

Just watched it and enjoyed it. Nice to see some unsung guys getting the limelight. Those guys in Cardiff are stars. Also the short haul heavy maintenance facility in Glasgow is equally as good.

Our son Simon is a team leader for T5 Heathrow, dealing with 777, 747 and 787.

Really enjoying the last two programs, especially last night, and next week one of Simon's best friends who he was at Uni with, Neil MacKenzie is in this program as he is now a night manager.

It was also good to see the last flight of 767, the first aircraft Simon learnt to maintain.

Hoping the 777 worked on in last night's program is the one we are flying on next Friday. We always tell Simon the aircraft number, once he told us that the aircraft we had been on was the aircraft that caught fire in Las Vegas

People don't realise that as well as pilots the engineers are constantly learning and when they take tests they have to get results of 75% or above

Hello Melvin - the aircraft that was refurbished on the programme this week is off from Gatwick to Mauritius today - reg is G-YMMC if you want to follow it to see if it is operating for you on Friday. I too have travelled on the aircraft involved in the Vegas fire.

Just watched this week’s episode. Really enjoying seeing people I know getting some of the limelight and seeing some of the paperwork I produce in the background.

Enjoying watching as my brother and nephew work at the Llantrisant and Blackwood sites. Good to see more of the behind-the-scenes areas rather than crew and airport staff 😁
