This is the story of the race for vertical take-off aircraft and the amazing projects developed by the Russians, Europeans & the US. The two superpowers harboured a common fear, vulnerability of runways in the event of a surprise enemy attack. So both turned to vertical takeoff and lift aircraft-VTOLs. We revisit the designs of WWII German VTOL experiments including the Heinkel Skylark and the Triebflugel. We learn that in the early years following WWII, the European powers recruited German VTOL designers led by the legendary Willi Messerschmidt. US aircraft designers, meanwhile, devised two "Pogo" design aircraft, one from Convair and another from Lockheed. Britain's entry, the highly innovative P.112, evolves into the Harrier Jet, the VTOL workhorse of US Marines. Our story concludes with a look at the Post-9/11 world and the need to conduct warfare in remote battlefields without the benefit of runways. The solution: the multi-mission capable F-35 joint strike force fighter with its set of heavy lift fans

A remarkable film revealing how 57,000 silent killers were prised from the soil of South Lebanon in one of the world’s most successful de-mining operations. In 2000, thousands of people were able to return to their villages for the first time in over 10 years. But within days their dreams were once again shattered. Mines poisoned their land. Mines, laid to kill soldiers, now preyed on civilians. Inquisitive children were among their early victims and afraid to set foot in their houses, farm their fields or contemplate development of the region many of them went back to Beirut. South Lebanon was once more desolate and forgotten, with little hope of rejuvenation.

With unique access, expedition leader Paul Rose, environmentalist Philippe Cousteau Jr, maritime archaeologist Dr Lucy Blue and marine biologist and oceanographer Tooni Mahto investigate whether the vibrant coral here can help other coral reefs threatened by global warming. They dive in one of only two places on Earth you can see a new ocean being born; they explore the wreck of an Italian ship, to find her top secret, deadly cargo; and they uncover archaeological evidence of one of early man's first encounters with the sea. And Philippe Cousteau Jr has an emotional journey to the remains of an ambitious underwater village established by his grandfather, Jacques Cousteau, in 1963 to discover whether humans could live beneath the waves.
This is the story behind the multibillion dollar fever that has led internationally renown geologists to the most unlikely place on earth – a land package the size of Texas in the empty, remote and vast barren lands of the Artic. Fueled by the fever of the hunt for that rare and precious find and in spite of deathly obstacles, geologists began what has become the biggest staking rush in world history. This is the search for the oldest, hardest, and most valuable gem in the world.
Expedition leader Paul Rose, environmentalist Philippe Cousteau Jr, maritime archaeologist Dr Lucy Blue and marine biologist and oceanographer Tooni Mahto make a dangerous dive into a 'black hole' to discover how different our planet's earliest oceans were 3.5 billion years ago. They dive one of only two places on the planet where the oldest lifeform on earth still survives: Stromatolites, the creatures responsible for transforming our ancient oceans by producing oxygen. They brave waters teeming with sharks to act as human bait in an experiment to test a shark repellent. They also investigate how the Atlantic has been invaded by the poisonous lionfish which is decimating local fish stocks and spreading fast. And they try to identify a lost British Warship, the HMS Southampton, which was shipwrecked after winning a battle against an American vessel in the war of 1812.
