In fairness to BBC Look East, they do cover qute a lot of aviation-related stuff mainly in the reunion/WW2/Duxford areas and last night’s programme was a good example of their output. Incidentally I bumped into Martin Shaw at Duxford a few weeks ago and he is not in the least bit smug. He was more than willing to chat about aviation and Stearmans in particular. Perhaps the director wanted him to do his Judge John Deed act for this show.

Don’t believe he’s very keen on talking about “The Professionals” though…..I met him some time ago at Swanton Morley. A less down to earth and “luvvie” type actor I would imagine is hard to find.
