Blimey!

On again now on Discovery History.

You should have – it was excellent.;) I was able to watch it after all, and thoroughly enjoyed it. Harry Harris?? is a character, isn’t he? But just the sort of passionate, fascinated amateur who contribute so much to our knowledge. It was very moving to see Bill Green’s reaction as the Merlin was precariously wiched to the surface.

I ought to watch it myself, I suppose! 🙂

Or….maybe not.:p

Well if that doesnt work then its on again on Ch 557 @ 9pm , wouldnt want to deprive you of some favoured viewing !!! :diablo:

Andy, my apologies meant to say this sooner but damned good job by you and the guys on the dig and for arranging for the Hurri flypast in honour of the Veteran !

Went directly to 522 and found it – thanks to all. So it is set to record as others are watching a “soap” at that time, I believe…..;)

I stand to be corrected, but I think that is Discovery History (Sky Ch 522).

Thanks – I can’t keep up with these digital channels – I’ll check to see I can get it. :)I tried browsing for a website but it just takes you to the Discovery Channel.

Have I got the wrong channel? On Discovery tonight at 2000 it says How Do They Do It series 7 Episode 6. HELP!:confused:

Its on Discovery History Ch.522 @8pm

I have watched several dig programmes in recent years and this was by far the best all round production, well done to all involved.

I think the state of material at the back of the engine could partly be explained by a previous dig, although the engine itself (and hub) were superb in condition.

This is not the first time the MOD have dallied over “gifting” recovered material and I know of at least three cases where the MOD have evidently claimed/seized the recovered material. As you say, could be significant for the future.

MOD return

Hi Andy – only managed to watch odd bits of the programme last night but as they appeared to be eking it out with the extra stuff – as interesting as it was – I kept missing the actual dig bits! Looked good & I will try to catch a repeat – From what I saw though the level of corrosion seemed quite severe at first despite the nice clay looking soil – was this perhaps due to exposure from a previous dig on the site?

Our Mustang dig – coincidentally also in a rather nice garden and also took a lot of negotiating to gain permission to excavate! – took place at the end of June and I have had the MOD return back, granting title to all the finds including the relatively intact Merlin without any problems – Is the delay due to your sites “greater historical significance” in their eyes? i.e. are they trying to claim some / all of your finds – I feel this could be very significant for other groups if this is the case.

Finally a quick heads-up – our dig was filmed by the BBC and is due to be aired soon on Inside Out North West, so will be on the iplayer for those not in the region – will post details as soon as I get a date.

I don’t think it will be on “proper telly”. At least, I’d be surprised if it got sold to any of the “proper telly” channels.

When will it be on “proper ” telly ?

dont have no new fangled box/dish thingy..

Mainly because the listed building conservation office wont let us have one..

8pm on the normal ch. or 9pm on the Discovery History + 1

Have to say that that Spitfire Girl (Lady!)was a treat ! the giggles and laughs out of her were a joy to hear , she really did enjoy herself !

Thanks, Andy – I haven’t found it yet, but will keep an eye out on the daily schedules.

I understand it is being repeated tonight, SkyHigh, although I haven’t looked up the time.
