Shame it wasn’t new, but still good though-i’m crossing my fingers they show an interview they did with Tom Sopwith just before he died-came across as a true gent-and Hannah Reitsch-she looked like my mum!

thought it was new…1987 ?? Some great footage though,especially the Beverly coming in to land……crying shame after a landing like that,this aircrafts fate.

Looking good next week too!-a programme about the heyday of the jet airliner, and another about how to survive plane crashes!

🙂 Yep – both good programmes indeed – also just watched the 40minutes special on “Suckling Airways” (now known as Scot Airways) which was equally fascinating to watch as a follow up to a documentary filmed 20 years before….
Good evening for aviation TV!

“The Beverley is on permanent display”-not quite

Very good documentaries, particularly enjoyed the footage of Croydon Airport. The Hendon documentary was good too, and my old flat (the ex-Aerodrome Hotel/Officers Mess) popped up in a few scenes!

There is a ding – dong going on with BT and BBC regarding I-Player.
If you are on a limited download per month this can take a whopping chunk out of it which is the reason BT is kicking up a stink.
This can be up to 500-600 MB per hour.

Yeah, they’re both listed on iplayer-what a good idea that is-you can get to see repeats of repeats!

Many thanks for that heads up. May also be on iPlayer if anybody misses it?
