Hi All,
What a wasted opportunity, continuity alone was awful Beaufighter/Hinkle 111/Boston /Mitchell etc.etc, lots more could have been added missing Avspecs restoration of KA144 and their current second Mosquito restoration/W4050 restoration/Peoples Mosquito/The go action stations project (Please correct me if I am wrong)let alone the many other restorations around the globe plus the Airworthy restoration of Kermit weeks etc.etc. some new facts but mostly mish mashed bits of film mainly the Mosquito but as mentioned continuity,at least try not to insult the memory of the veterans who flew these magnificent aircraft do the research properly and if your in doubt get off your **** and do a proper job of it, there no excuse these days for sloppy research which has resulted in a Well presented (Host wise) but very untidy documentary,paying a little attention to detail could have taken it from an also ran to a winner.
I would have assumed that when making the programme the host would have had a good deal to say on the content ? but was he bullied into an average run of the mill docu or was he just told we’ll edit our way ? either way the above still applies like I said a good effort from the host but missing vital links in the whole story in my mind but that is just my opinion and that’s all it is like it or lump it.

With the smiley face i thought you were going to say it had been rebuilt to fly.I thought they were going to get another one flying or am i thinking of something else?

When you said ‘update’ I was expecting to see a link to the NTSB ‘Probable Cause’ report. This is just a re-hash of 2-year old footage and tells us nothing we didn’t already know.

The article has appeared on the war history site so I thought I would post it for other not up to date members on the other hand if you would like a more up to date info try this link http://http://www.libertyfoundation.org/index.html

Whatever it was, I can guarantee it will be less boring than Top Gear.

Hi All,
What is put on this and other forums could be classed as boring to some,depends on your point of view and what your into admitted T/G has lost it’s way a bit but to the viewers and those who are petrol heads it isn’t just accept it for what it is another TV programme like it or lump it.
