Plea for help…..

Any comments on the Spitfire programme, BBC4, 7:00.
Made in 1976, introduced by Raymond Baxter and featuring some classic characters, including Bader, Johnson, Tuck et al.
I don’t remember seeing it before, it must have been first broadcast the year I first moved down here and we didn’t have a telly at first.
I would be interested to know what spitfires were flying then, apart from the BBMF and RR examples featured, I can’t think of any. Apart from just discovering fledgling Duxford with Sally B parked outside, I wasn’t involved in to much aviation activity at the time, possibly Mildenhall but probably not till the fogged out Coltishall 40th BoB anniversary when several spitfires were due to attend, I’ll have to get at me slide boxes out and see.

Would anyone who recorded this and still has it be able to make me a copy?

I had it on Sky+ and fully intended to copy it off to a DVD for safekeeping, but apparently the hard disk structure on my Sky+ box is corrupt and I keep randomly losing previously recorded programmes.

This is the only thing I’ve lost (so far) that I was particularly bothered about……. 🙁 Now frantically copying everything else off before I have to reformat the bloody thing. 😡
