They flew over Loughborough University about 4 times at about 400 ?? feet. Twas awesome.

The Wellington was the mainstay of the OTUs, is that not an important enough role to remember?

I’d been told previously how D-day stripes were very rough, applied by hand… That Spitfire photo shows it perfectly!

It looks worse than one of my teenage airfix efforts! I like the terrain model makers, interesting to see them at work. The ‘British bomber’ interior shot is a Halifax.

Just noticed this from a few days ago…

based on memoars and ORB’s.

memoirs and ORBs? I hope you have a good copy editor…

Just be grateful we didn’t get an arm waving Dan Snow.

Had it been a BBC production I am sure the ubiquitous clown that is Dan Snow would have been first in the queue. His live ‘interviewing’ on the 70th anniversary of the dams raid was shocking.

I was also miffed with Arthur Williams’s lamenting of how the Mosquito has been ‘forgotten’. Has it? I mean, it was the subject of two films -obviously Mosquito Squadron and 633 Squadron – and part of the reason that there are so few left is because the film makers destroyed them. There are plenty left in museums around the world, although I agree with him that having them on the u/c on the ground is preferable. So compared to the Stirling, Whitley, Wellington et al the Mossie is thriving!

I am not sure that showing the 1996 Mosquito crash footage was particularly necessary.

No expert on Dorniers, so I don’t know if this is the main dataplate.
