Anyone else watch this one hour prog. Photo recon by Spitfire and then 3D plans brought to the top brass…V1 and V2 sites picked out and bombed to bits

Well, I recall the 1965 movie (trailer) & the secret weapons program that featured R V Jones, with a smattering of The World At War plus what my Dad told me of the deal, I had a rough idea of the plot 😀
But as echoed on the original thread, this was a very polished & informative program, a refreshing change from the usual rubbish. 😎

BUT…..On a seperate issue was anyone aware of this operation prior to the prog going out?
I was aware of the great feats of the photo flyers but never realised just how the PI’s were involved and the use of the intel gained…Fantastic insight into the back room shiny ar*es….They must have saved countless lives..
