During the Second World War -- and for long after, for all I know -- the Air Transport. Auxilliary was in charge of getting airplanes from where they were -- often factories -- to where the Royal Air Force needed them to be. Made up of hobby pilots from before the War, and weekend fliers, they allowed the RAF to concentrate on using their pilots for the business of war. This plotted documentary covers one of the ATA fliers getting plane where it was needed.
It's all handled in typically understated crown Unit documentary fashion: the paperwork, the tea, the pawky humor. Where Pat Jackson lifts this out of that high standard is in the sense of isolation of the pilot, the long, silent flights where, between watching the gauges, he gets to look down at the countryside, and up at the sky, and think his own thoughts. Watching, I thought to myself that I didn't want to intrude. It's very nicely done.
