Well done on the credits..Which reminds me…many years ago I went to the RAF museum and was cheesed off that the info displays infront of the airframes seldom gave any credit/history of that particular aircraft. ( Many contents covered in the wonderful British Museum Aircraft book )

The general public could assume that the MOD had been saving all the correct aircraft for display at Hendon ETC. Wondering if the captions do show credit to the restorers and recoverers etc. ?

Excellent series, pays tribute too those who took part in the air battles and also highlights the efforts made by the recovery teams.

Good to see that some of the banter has been left in, stops the programmes being to dry. Did they cut out all the references to heading off too the nearest pub to discuss the finds?

Just so overvalued, or am i out of touch in North Scotland?

Well done Paul.
The trailer for the movie shows the South African black Banderante being attacked in the air by parachutists(they were dropped from the white C130)
then the tail is blown off and it is grappled and then towed behind the C130. When you look carefully this is a Jetstream fuselage and the interior shots are of the same.

This discovery and on going search for the pilot brings a renewed focus on the hazards of operating during wartime in these deserts. I am glad to read here that the opportunity to highlight the sacrifices made has been taken up at high levels and the RAF museum is involved.

Thanks Mark for the splendid LBG image, certainly got me re thinking about the P40 pics being from slides and explains why so few,I remember the feeling of being careful with film stock. Ok I am now convinced,real but when?

I seem to recall that Brian Rapier produced a monograph many years ago about this very subject. someone may have a copy around.
