Airline

I have a copy of the series as avi files - taken from the original VHS from the TV at the time.

I thought, although memory plays tricks doesn't it? 2 series were made but of course only 1 was ever made. I would be delighted if the owners released it on DVD as I am sure many others would be., although there doesn't seem to be a desire to release series like this today, need more of the reality TV programs don't we? I do remember Charlton TV (when they were still about!) showing the series a few years ago? Roy Marsden played an excellent role as did all the characters! Excellent program worthy of being released on DVD!! Come on make it available for all!!

A really good British Classic TV Drama, very well done.

Roy Marsden and the rest of the cast give a great performance as does the, filming crew with very high production standards.

The DC 3 flying scenes are remarkable ! Well worth watching just for themselves.

Well written script with a very believable story line.

What I didn't like was the 80's synthesizer music soundtrack , Really took away from the whole feeling of this other wise perfect time period drama.

It's too bad a second season wasn't made.

Roy Marsden has always been a favourite of mine after watch The Sand Baggers , such a great natural actor that's totally believable.

So glad that Network put out this High Quality DVD box set.

Finally released on D.V.D. Airline is a fantastic series, and a very expensive one to make at the time, with a fantastic cast, including the wonderful DC-3 Dakotas.

It is a real shame that the T.V. companies fell out over this series, it was originally meant to chart Jack Ruskin building his airline up from being de-mobbed after the Second Worls War all the way up to the 1980's, but when Y.T.V. fell out with Greatorex over unauthorised script re-writes, and facing serious financial strain, the plug was pulled after the first series, a real shame!

So if you love planes, or want to watch a T.V. series made in the days before reality television, that shows how well a series can be made, then buy it now!

I watched this first time around, and shortly going to watch it again from original TV transfers a friend found in their attic, definitely deserves a proper release and shows how much ITV have declined over the years. Always been a big fan of Richard Heffer from his time in Survivors and many other things, sadly absent from television mostly today all thanks to the glut of so called reality.Roy Marsden is a fantastic actor and perfect for the role, the idea behind this series was original and refreshing , shame it did not continue as would have made a fantastic 2 or 3 series drama at least. I would recommend this to anyone if you are lucky enough to find it anywhere, I was indeed fortunate to have known someone who had a VCR in those days.

A fantastic, realistic and sometimes brutally honest reprise of how life in the RAF and post war aviation industry was. No holds barred. This series represents in a factual and honest manner the feelings, views and beliefs of serving RAF personell and politicions. The factual content..in regards to flying scenes and continuity are great and to be fair "continual". There is no doubt in my mind Roy Marsden is a great actor and the likes of Richard Heffer, Sean Scanlan and Poly Hemingway all ad the practical and basic acting skills required in this ...stripped down and back to basics acting genre. Great acting, and fascinating radio controlled models used to represent full-sized aircraft. Well shot and produced.
