    The parts recovered in the time available were great, as was Ray’s presence, but I don’t think this warranted being done live at all, and I think that it was in fact quite an embarrassing and sometimes uncomfortable programme to watch due to the sheer sloppiness of it all, and the constant rushing of a great, but old and clearly overwhelmed man.

    They could have made a good hour’s documentary out of this, as Ray was clearly far more lucid in the pre-recorded parts, but done live, it was dreadful.

    😮

    Nice to see Syd Barrett so happy though… 😉

    Scuze me, But Syd had more hair than Steve Vizard !!!!

    Not the 1980s vintage Syd that I’m referring too!

    So, they’re digging already? I hadn’t really thought about it, but I supose if there’s a engine to be found there, they’d have had to get down to it-or pretty damn near-before the actual ‘live’ dig. And there was me thinking they’d be starting off on telly tonight with a blank bit of tarmac, d’oh!

    :rolleyes:

    Looking forward to it tonight, nonetheless.

    LOL @ Texantomcat!!

    You watch, Steve Vizard will appear singing ‘I’ve got a bike, you can ride it if you like…’!!! He SO looks like the snatched snaps of Syd from about 1980 or so!

    Ah, Pink Floyd…asides from four Merlins running nicely in synch, my other favourite music! 😉

    Then there’s the other side of things, the guys who DID do their jobs and had something to be proud of, who have now turned jelly-brain, and forgotten the lot. My grandfather was ground crew in Bomber Command, working on Wellingtons, Stirlings and Lancasters, all with 149 Sqdn. Listen to what’s left of him talk now though, and he swears that he piloted Halifaxes.

    Sad.

    I’m really looking forward to this-I wonder if they’ll find much?

    And we’ll have Syd Barrett lookalike Steve Vizard on again, too! (You’ll have to be VERY well versed in your Pink Floyd to know about that one…)

    Should be good!

    I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, the Lanc has never looked better than she does in this coat of paint. 🙂

    Yes, the finish on a model is all important; how many tins of Humbrol 85 satin black was that, then? :p

    Looks much better, now.

    I’ve always found that mailing the BBMF always gets you a pretty speedy and good response, always from just the right person. Can’t fault ’em, a credit to the RAF.

    Great pics, and great to know that as much care is being taken as possible, but that’s still no place for such a lady…
