Skies Above BritainS1 Ep1 - Flying Into Danger

Every day in Britain, 6,000 aircraft soar above our heads, ranging from passenger planes and cargo-laden airbuses, from air ambulances to rescue helicopters. Without our carefully choreographed airways, the world below would be stuck - quite literally, grounded. If things go wrong, the consequences are devastating. It's the job of a hidden army of men and women to keep our skies and all who fly in them safe, to uphold the daily miracle of flight. Yet most of us take this complex system for granted - with no idea of the extraordinary technical and aerial ballet that keeps Britain up in the air. Until now.
