Looking forward to it. Interesting that mainstream BBC didn’t feature the Dornier in any documentary strand.

The only thing wrong with the video is……there should be another Mossie with 114 in formation ! No….make that TEN more. Absolutely enthralling. What historic aviation is all about.

Very sad to hear this. Blue Skies Sir and thankyou.

This is a wonderful story. Congratulations and well done to all concerned, puts me in mind of a couple of air to air sorties I did from Cambridge with R4118 a few years ago. Marvellous and unforgettable.

What were the markings on the 262’s ? Oh yes….yellow tails.
Not really sold on the CGI. Looks cartoonish.

There may be a lack of aviation related programming on TV but in the past year or so a wealth of material has appeared on the internet that can be easily enjoyed, with the likes of Pathe and Movietone allowing us to view their archives on their websites. I’ve seen incredible footage in cut and uncut form that either wouldn’t make it into a programme or be cut to fit into a longer film.
I put ‘Heinkel’ into the search box on Pathe and found gun camera footage of Mistel combination aircraft being destroyed in mid air. I put ‘Heinkel Berlin’ into the same box and found the press debut of the Heinkel 70. One drawback of these sites is that the cataloguing of the material is not done by someone who knows their aircraft…hence finding JU88 Mistel aircraft when I should be seeing Heinkel types. But there is a wealth of stuff we can all view. At the moment.

Bruce, there HAS to be a book about this…something along the lines of Russ Snadden’s epic about Black Six. There should be a Haynes manual on the 190…much more interesting than the 109 !
