BBC Bomber Command Items

These various old BBC Radio broadcasts look rather interesting, I wonder if any of them have by any chance survived as recordings?

‘BOMBERS OVER GERMANY’
BBC Home Service Basic, 15 August 1940 21.35
A radio impression of the work of the Bomber Command as typified by an attack on an oil refinery and oil storage tanks at Bremen
The chief characters:
A Flight-Lieutenant, the Second Pilot, the Sergeant Observer, the Sergeant Wireless Observer, the Sergeant Rear-Gunner, who form the crew of a bomber. The programme written and produced by Cecil McGivern in collaboration with officers and crews of a Bomber Command Squadron
This programme promises to be even more thrilling than McGivern’s previous programme about the work of the Spitfires, broadcast in June. Listeners will hear a reconstruction of an actual raid by a Bomber Command unit, and will be told from beginning to end exactly what happened from the moment the planes took off to the moment they landed at their aerodromes after their trip to Bremen. McGivern has got his story at first-hand from the men who took part in this particular raid, and in preparing his script has had the close collaboration of the pilot and crew of the leading plane.
Recordings have been made at an R.A.F. Bomber Command aerodrome. Listeners will hear the actual bombers that took part in the raid.

The Bombers
BBC Radio 4 FM, 5 April 1978 20.00
During the war, doubts were expressed, and have been echoed since it ended, about the effectiveness, the morality and the cost in men, money and materials, of the offensive mounted against German cities by RAF Bomber Command. What part did the bomber play in winning the war? Could the same results, or better ones, have been achieved in other ways? Was the mass bombing of the German population legitimate, or necessary in the circumstances of the time? This retrospective assessment is compiled from the specially recorded reminiscences of Marshal of the Royal Air Force Sir Arthur Harris; Albert Speer. Minister of Armament and War Production in the wartime German government: and former members of Bomber Command air crews who flew missions over Germany. Narrated by David Mahlowe Reader RUSSELL DIXON
