A History of Flight 2006 (10)

Orville Wright's achievement of flying a powered aircraft for the first time in 1903 was the fulfillment of man's dream of taking to the skies. Narrated by Tom Baker, this fascinating film charts the rapid progress of the aeroplane from a contraption that could barely carry the weight of a man over a few hundred yards to a sleek machine capable of spanning the globe at supersonic speed.

The Ultimate History of the F16 Fighter 2004 (6)

When it first flew, it was considered way ahead of its time in flight control, avionics integration and cockpit features. But today's processors are a hundred times more powerful than those available in the 1970's and yet, the F-16 has been able to adapt to the new technologies as they come on stream. In fact, the F-16 is so successful that it is envisaged being in service until well into the 21st century. This programme features unique footage of F16 flight tests as well as presenting its combat record, especially during the two wars in Iraq. It finishes with a superb display sequence by a Belgian Air Force F-16.

The Very Best Of British Steam Today 2004

Although British Railways retired the last of its steam fleet in 1968 interest in steam engines has continued to grow. Hardly surprising really as the country that invented the steam engine has always had a love affair with this most human of all machines. Without the efforts of Britain's many heritage steam lines, the opportunity for families to savour the nostalgic atmosphere of a steam railway would have been lost many years ago.
