Get Some In (timeline inconsistancies)
I watched all five seasons back to back in 2010, I made a few observations - as follows.
Watch the show and then see if you saw any of the mistakes I spotted.
Time Travel is the best one.
I've taken a few notes about the order of the episodes as they were presented but also taking information that was given by various characters.
Apparently a 7 day long week lasted over 13 weeks in this show. And time also went backwards as I'll also show.
All of the 5 series took place in 1955 which is a REALLY good trick.
And the events at the start of series 5 happened before series 1 even took place which is an even BETTER trick.
The days of the week for days 1, 2, 3 & 14 were worked out backwards from Leckies statement made on week 3, day 22.
1946 - Percy Marsh joins the RAF as a regular
Friday (possibly November) 1955 - Civilians start 8 weeks (56 days) basic training as C Flight (S1e1)
Saturday Day 2, Kit Issued (S1e2)
Sunday Day 3, Medical Assessment (S1e3)
Thursday Day 14, C Flight allowed to leave RAF Skelton for the 1st time, confirmed by AC2 Richardson "You've only done 2 weeks like the rest of us" (S1e4)
AC2 Lilleys feet nailed to floor of hut (S1e5)
Friday Week 3/Day 22, C Flight do Picket Duty, confirmed by Leckie "Saturday tomorrow, 101 weeks to go".
Also confirmed by the AOC & Richardson "How long have you been in the Air Force - 3 weeks sir" (S1e6)
Saturday 12 Noon, C Flight issued 1st 36 hour pass (S1e7)

C Flight are still in the 1st part of their Basic Training (confirmed by Cpl Marsh "You havent started the 2nd part of your basic training yet"

C Flight wins a field exercise (S2e4)
Final Week Basic Training, Cpl Marsh promoted to Acting Sgt (Marsh states he has been a Cpl for 9 years, in other words he became a Cpl the year he joined the RAF. Possible as a DI or not? Acting unpaid, perhaps)
Acting Sgt Marsh demoted to Cpl for burning down barrack hut (S3e1)
Leckie, Smith, Richardson & Lilley posted to RAF Midham for 13 weeks medical training (S3e2)
Marsh, Leckie, Smith & Ricardson arrive at RAF Midham, Lancashire (S3e3)

On the same day newly promoted Cpl Marsh becomes a patient @ RAF Hospital Druidswater (having been promoted for bravery & awarded the George Medal on 14th November 1955 which is impossible as he'd STILL have been at RAF Skelton as a DI) (S5e1)
Cpl Marsh becomes permant staff at RAF Hospital Druidswater (S5e3)
