Unlike several other reviewers, i didn't serve in Aden, and don't know what types of weapon the RMP used or what sorts of planes people few in on.
However, i didn't watch this series in order to discover such details, and if you do, I fear that as well as being disappointed you may be missing the point. This is an entertainment, but also an allegory -- on the one hand a tale of decline and fall, on the other a tale of compromised decency. Evelyn Waugh meets the evil in war, as it were.
If military verisimilitude is your thing, this may not work for you; but if you liked Parade's End, the Tudors, and Brideshead Revisited (as I did), I think it will.

I also was suprised to see so many negative reviews, I served in the military and I can see how some vets would pick it apart and point out all the indescepancies because that's how soldiers are made to pay attention to the details, so that doesn't surprise me at all. I just finished the first episode and I was glued to the TV, and honestly I didn't have high hopes in the beginning. I didn't expect it to be historically accurate 100% which didn't matter , it's not a documentary or a biography so it doesn't matter, it's entertainment /Fact based. Acting was great, the adultery and drunkenness has been going on since man picked up his first beer so spot on there. Looking forward to the rest of the season and I'm sure it'll be great. Thanks for the great show well done!
I only saw the first episode of this series and I loved it. It had enough teasers in to get me hooked on the promise of entertaining future episodes.
Being exposed to the military myself (Not the British Army) I have seen a post in a hostile environment, where the military families (living on base, sometimes with vast different backgrounds) are flung together for periods of time - Those families do not have the luxury of failing to make it work.
This makes for interesting living arrangements and dynamics. Women don't always have it easy, despite who you are and where you come from, you are pegged to your husband's status and position. A bit tricky to navigate when you are living in each other's pockets.
Be aware that there might be small details that are not 100 % correct regarding the setting. However, looking past that, I am crossing my fingers that this series has potential.

I wasn't more than 11 years old when the incidents shown in 'The Last Post' were playing out but as a history buff I am very aware of the strife in Aden as the British were unwinding their overseas possessions.
As a history buff and a retired field grade officer in the U.S. Army I saw the clinkers right off in the portrayal of the soldiers in the show. Yes, the folding stocks on the Sterling SMGs are never extended when in use. Yes, the troopers going into action failed to stand up the rear sight on the SLRs. Yes, there are other issues too, but the story surpasses them all.
I've been the 'new man' myself joining a clubby unit and having to prove myself to the other officers and especially the NCOs.
I was the newlywed who married and left for overseas duty immediately; my wife had to fly across the world to join me in a plane that had to make an emergency landing along the way to have duct tape applied to the tail to continue her journey.
I was the Commander who had to make decisions that effected the lives of soldiers in my command.
My wife and I first lived in a small compound of soldiers and their families in a foreign country with all of the stress and heartache that comes with this type of living.
I absolutely loved this show. For once, put the military inconsistencies aside and immerse yourself in the lives of the show's characters. I watched all six episodes and found each one to be powerful and moving. I sincerely hope we get a second round of shows
I'm really surprised by the number of negative reviews on here. The Last Post was a fabulous drama. I can't speak for the historically accuracy of the details but the cinematography, the scenery and the overall picture painted were beautiful and rang true to me.
The story unfolded very effectively over the six episodes giving a mix of the overall political backdrop with a number of more personal dramas each of which was engaging and interesting.
The acting was a delight. Just about every performance was perfect.

- TriviaThe BBC production crew was unable to obtain permission for the British Ministry of Defense to use the proper RMP crest for the production. They had to design a new crest that was at least 35% different from the real one.
