    Really enjoyed it.

    Bomber Command in WWII is not a subject you can cover in 90 minutes. Its far too complicated for that. Though that is not a criticism.

    The narative was pretty good I thought on balance. That said I found the “Churchill approved the Dresden attack” comment strange. Since the directive to hit either Liepzig, Chemnitz or Dresden came from him via Portal to Harris.

    I thought the photography was really top class.

    When it puts its mind to it the BBC really can produce world class stuff.

    Well done Auntie

    All the ground staff, cabin crew and pilots are much in my thoughts at present.

    Hope they all find something…

    If Scotland do become independant I do hope they will pay for all expenses either side of the border involved in the transition.

    Along with of course their share of the national debt etc…….

    Oh and one other thought. What price could you get on President salmond, having carved his name in the history books, walks away from power after the event so when it all goes pear shaped……he can say “not my fault”.

    Personally I’m a big believer in the Federal Republic of Great Britain. Run I suppose in a similar way to the USA. With two elected houses and an elected President……but you all know my views on that one!

    And another thing….that oil and gas belongs in the main to Shetland I think and not Scotland.

    All that said I worked in Edinburgh for a while and loved the city and the people. We also holiday frequently in the highlands and there are few places better on the planet for me than the Scottish Highlands.

    I hope the majority of people get what they wish. Goodness knows the next few years (if not next few months) look very daunting for us all………….

    I really enjoyed Propeller Head.

    I also enjoyed the program very much.

    I appreciate that some “microlights” are very sophisticated these days but not too sure I’d be happy in one above the clouds…..

    Strange thing is, in my younger days I’d fly in anything with anyone. As I have grown older I have become more and more risk adverse when it comes to GA.

    A serviceable, modern ship in perfect conditions was put in mortal danger for no reason.

    Captains ship, his responsibility…………end.
