Brilliant prog. I had tears in my eyes at numerous parts of the show (Grace’s Spit shots, the final roll out). Shame they didn’t have a Spit flypast when it was rolled out at the end but seeing the umbrellas on the day it could have been grounded due to bad weather.
And perhaps they should have given the kids a private display of a Spitfire then shown it to them close up once landed. That might have got them a bit more interested.
And as for throwing flaming models out of the bedroom windows, that never did it for me. The models just plummeted to the ground, not even a short glide. Not very realistic. I use to set fire to mine in the garage when my father was at work (stuffed with Bengal matches this time of year). They use to burn with black smoke and black bits use to float around in the air. God knows what damage that did to my lungs all those years ago but it’s all part of growing up. 😀
