Interesting stories from the old boys, but too much chat and not enough flying for me.

Haven't seen it yet but I did smile to see OC BBMF in the Lanc on the trailers

Ewan really doesn't do anything for me, interesting guy but that's about it, the Dakota's were much more appealing ;) :))

Anyway, I thought it was a brilliant program :ymapplause: I thought it had a nice balance for those who know their history and those who don't.
I too would have liked more flying, especially in the Daks and Lancaster at the end, but, you can't have everything and what there was was great :ymapplause: :ymapplause:
We enjoyed indentifying the landmarks (nice shot of the new caravan park/country park just out side Woodhall near the Petwood ;) :)) )

Although kind of annoying to realise that I was at Coningsby the day that TD248 arrived

But didn't twig it was for anything of interest at the time ~x( =))
