What ARE ‘the updates…bring encouraging news’ re. the Blenheim, then?

I so wish that C4 would put ‘Spitfire Ace’- and then this as well of course- out on DVD.

You just beat me to it with the reminder service, Trumper!

Looking forward to it…

Answered my own question, at the bottom of this page-

Ah, ‘Airwolf’ and ‘Blue Thunder’, what dreadful series those both were! AW would usually feature 40 minutes of rubbish followed by them fetching ‘The Lady’ at the end, to tie-up whatever that week’s lame story had been. Usually that then consisted of multi-spliced, very familiar stock footage of the one and only real airworthy AW, mixed with footage of a large-scale radio control model they also used.

BT was so bad, I don’t think it even got as far as having a whole series!?

Name this bomber?

Hmm.

How about ‘Bob’? 😀

‘Plus, I’d be surprised if they let just anyone ‘have a go’ anyway!’

‘I doubt any civvy would get a chance to fly it anyway because it’s MOD property, let alone the other potential reasons you listed.’

That’s exactly what I said, wasn’t it?!

I wish things like this and ‘Spitfire Ace’ would be released on DVD.

Well, I thoroughly enjoyed that!

Yes, I too thought that they were a bit quick to dismiss the Stirling and the Halifax, especially with the Hallybag being such a worthy second-placed bomber after the Lanc.

They did kind of make it sound as if the young crew would be all alone with Sally B, though clearly that won’t be the case!

I wonder if they will get to have a trundle around in NX611? Would be nice to see the prospective pilots getting a feel on her first- but maybe the insurance/small space at East Kirkby would preclude that, though.

Great to see John Romain on there.

Not so many veterans and their stories on there just yet, but I seem to remember the first episode of Spitty Ace started off in a similar way, concentrating more on the modern day aircrew.

Great stuff- can’t wait until next week’s! 😀
