I am advised a documentary – ‘Operation Crossbow’, not to be confused with the 1965 film, will be screened featuring the work of the PRU in the campaign against the German V-1 and V-2 weapons.

It is – also including input from Flt.Lt Jimmy Taylor of 16 Sqdn and ground and air -to-air footage of Spitfire PR.XI PL965.
Watch out for one of the ground crew!:D

UK TV ‘heads up’ Operation Crossbow (Not the movie)
BBC2, Sunday 15th May 2100.
Telling the little known story of how the allies used 3D photography to thwart the Nazi’s super weapons.
Reading through the guff it seems to be a photo-recce programme including contribution from Wingco Mike Mockford
