Battle of Britain (TV documentary heads-up)

It was fortunate that channel 4 made the effort, the Beeb haven’t done anything outside their news programmes.
Bizarrely they have put on the McGregor brothers ‘Bomber Boys’ on BoB day

Very very good air to air coverage,hoping that there is a longer version as a DVD later.

On at the moment ,not sure if it is just my set up but the lip sync audio seemed to be out of time ,probably just my set up.

James Holland is a fine presenter – enthusiastic and incisive. It was good to see two veteran B of B pilots I hadn’t before seen, talking abut their experiences.

Weather permitting, I shall be at Goodwood on Tuesday.

Liked it, but it was a shame that someone didn’t vet the period (Battle of France or post-BoB) film, along with the modern (air-to-air of a P-51!).

Apparently it’s in two parts, second part on Tuesday at 8.00pm.

Thanks for the heads-up. 🙂

CD,

Thanks. Should’ve made that clear.

Yes – the human stories rather than the machines, I understand.

New documentary, not the movie?
