Peter Snow and Andi Peters host the final episode of Planespotting Live from an aeropark. Tonight, we are looking at military planes, the fastest and often most innovative of them all.

Zoe Laughlin explains how some of the early military planes at the aeropark helped the RAF maintain its dominance of the skies above us. And pilot Arthur Williams is at an RAF base ready to spot an array of military planes and helicopters.

Our military pilot in the studio gives context and hidden stories behind some of these extraordinary flying machines and we conclude the country’s biggest-ever planespotting event by revealing just how many types of aircraft the British public has managed to spot.

Andi gets to join spotters watching Typhoons on training sorties, we meet the ex-BAE employee who has made models of every single plane he has worked on (all in their individual liveries) and we find out why a 60-year-old Handley Page Victor aircraft is worth a team dedicating their lives to restoring.
