This is very sad news but remember, we do live in a democracy and you are quite welcome, if you feel strongly enough about a given subject, to go and find your local MP and ask him to do what he/she can on this subject. Alternatively, letters can be written to MPs or even the media.

Damien, maybe we would be able to put the ‘great’ back into Britain if everyone actually did something, within the law, about things they felt strongly about. Just a thought.

Congratulations Kev.

The original was good because it had some basis in truth. In fact, it had a lot of basis in the truth as it was based on the book by Pat Reid who spent time there. I still believe that whilst a lot of modern second world war films crow about accuracy, you still have to go back to British war films of the 50s to capture what are the truth behind an event.

Take for example films like ‘The Colditz Story’, ‘The Wooden Horse’, ‘Reach for the Sky’ and ‘The Dambusters’ which follow faithfully respected books on the subjects. These films also didn’t feel they had to embellish an already rivetting story and add sideshow plots which usually revolve around some pretty WAAF or other. 🙂

Damien is right, usually they do although when I was a fair bit younger I was refused permission to photograph the plastic Spitfire at Benson, younger Steven thought. ‘Its only a plastic Spitfire’, older Steven thinks, ‘why did I want to photograph a plastic 1:1 model? 🙂

However, I see on his IMDb page he also recently played Jeffrey Archer, agggh!!!??

It was quite an amusing program. Basically it was a fantasy history of his life according to Archer himself including a seriously cringe worthy love seen between the charcter of Archer and M. Thatcher.

busy with uni work till the 9th May but if anyone has any times for the lancs pre airshow practices then i would love to know as Coningsby is near enough and convenient enough to get to from here (and by bus too)

thanks, steve

knowing that some of our more nervous members may be afraid of ghosts and thus avoiding that particular thread, i shall repost here 🙂
