any one else watching?
Wonderful images and tales of some truly great escapades by some heroic men and women
I never tire of listening to them and about them

it’s a shame that the heroics of bomber command don’t get the same coverage – not as PC I guess?

What a beautiful thing a Spitfire is…

Per ardua ad astra.

Coincidentally I’m just drinking a Spitfire. The bottle of Britain

Yes, amazing programme.

My dad was a radio operator in a welly bomber out of Binbrook during the war

he reckoned the Spitfire boys were a bunch of prima donnas that sat around all day while everyone else was busy working 🙂

Many many moons ago, like in 1981, The Strathallan Collection of historic aircraft was sold off by Coys.

The auctioneer flew himself in.

In his own Spitfire !

Pure class !

Still have my sale catalogue.

Glass very much raised.

I worry about some of these programs and the true validity of this legend of the Spitfire – but then I see one and more importantly here one and I can feel the pride rising and the sound sets my whole body alight with excitement.

Adrenaline and pride is a dangerous, but heady and powerful, concoction 8)

thank you

I think they fly Tornados out of Lossiemouth now – he’d have loved that

John Sergeant is actually Jo Brand, isn’t he?

they cannot exist in the same place at the same time – space/time continuum and all that..

Sir William Walton pretty much nailed it.
