Don’t think this has been mentioned, but it’s available in BBCi now and can be downloaded. Some wonderful clips, and equally wonderful plummy 1950s English accents!

Edit: Not so sure about a Vickers Vimy described as a Handley Page, though.

Missed it so must watch on iPlayer in the next few days. I think I’d rather have “plummy 50s accents” than some of the incomprehensible garbage the Beeb offers from some of its current presenters/contributors…………;)

Not avialable in my area!

I’ve only seen five mins of this Scouse (due to work) but it’s amazing. The aircraft with prop rotating with a crowd sitting all around it at 25 secs, the bloke ‘balloon jumping’, hopping over a barbed wire fence! Good find.
