Series which revisits and updates stories from the classic documentary strand. In 1990, husband and wife team Roy and Merlyn Suckling, who had started the UK's smallest international airline, were about to double the size of their fleet - by acquiring a second plane. It was a classic tale of plucky British determination. After a repeat of the original film we revisit the Sucklings to find out how they've fared in the face of cut-throat competition in the toughest industry of all.
