Stunning and I do like dirty old birds, glad to see she’ll keep the make up on, always adds a touch of glamour.

Shame that ZG506 wasn’t allowed to go to a good home though.

this is a film (Dambusters) that dads of today will take their sons to watch and catch another generation of youngsters to (and maybe) want to be involved in the future of aviation.

This film is important.

Skipping back a bit to this point, part of the problem is that classics like this were a staple part of my growing up, always some film on Sunday afternoons when there were only 3 (or 4) channels to choose from. Far more options now but still intend to sit down with the kids when they are big enough and a pile of ‘educational’ films.

Can’t we just agree that the programme was a very good and fair one?

It was a program about aeroplanes on BBC1 on prime time tv, that is more than we get most of the time, the fact it was well made and fair is a real bonus.

Not actually too bad for Coastal Command…

Now that is quite a list, but why go abroad for an Annie, Air Atlantique have one.

I could more than happily enjoy a good hour and a half (though could have been longer for everyone here) on Coastal if presented the same way, a water landing in the Cat would be enjoyable for Colin to try no doubt if they would let him.

Seen the East Midlands Air Ambulance sadly landing near by, never like seeing it flying as it normally means some bad news for a family somewhere.

Another big problem is that type cannot convey emotion in the same way as the spoken word, a message that is meant in a light hearted jokey way can be taken very seriously and cause offense when it is not intended to.

All too easy to forget that not everyone thinks the same way as I (or you) do and will do things or react differently to something.
