WW2 drama

I recall watching this in the 70’s too. I was initially unsure I would enjoy it as the early scenes of the chap on guard were slow and I could not see where the story was going, however as it went on I became more and more ‘sucked in’ to the story and I almost felt part of the crew myself by the end. It was a moving and somewhat disturbing tale, but I am not sure if the 70’s production values would hold up with a present day audience. As a youth in the 70’s I, like many others, was steeped in WW2 lore – Bomber Command, Battle of Britain etc and like most lad in those days knew relatives who had fought in the war. Most kids today don’t even know there was a war, never mind about Bomber Command! it would be nice to see it again though, perhaps on one of the satellite channels – there are enough of them showing ancient repeats, so you never know! Or how about a repeat of the 70’s series Pathfinders. Anyone recall that gem with its multidudinous repeats of the same Lanc landing again and again and…….. 😀

Langford Lost?

I used to visit the museum in the 90’s. Sad to hear the owners are throwing it out. Anyone know where the collection is moving to? i heard a few years back rumours of a possible museum being established at Limavady WW2 airfield?

Hi Guys,

Not sure about the Shack but it look awfully like the one that sat on the dump at Kinloss for years. As a young airman I used to drive one of the controllers out to the dump on Sundays so he could look for scrapped RAF boots (minus tongues) to use for gardening!

Back in 1978 I used to travel into Shrewsbury from Shawbury by bus and at one stop in Shawbury village a garden contained a couple of Mosquito bomber perspex nose transparencies. Wish I had paid more attention to their exact location now. They had obviously come from either Shawbury or High Ercall Mu’s and were used as cold frames/cloche’s. Also came across an Anson mainwheel in a farmyard at the bottom of The Merrick in Ayrshire in about 1985. probably all long gone by now -pity.
