So Martin, what did you make of that?
Have to say I enjoyed the programme, seemed to have much more of a point to it than C4's Dambusters show. Nice to hear from the veteran pilots, especially Geoffrey Wellum, as I read his memoirs ('First Light') a few months ago. Only problem I find is that having read a fair bit about the Spitfire/Mitchell story and the Battle of Britain, a lot of TV programmes simply don't tell me anything new.
Throughout all the bits of aerial photography, though, I had this internal monologue that kept saying 'Those lucky, lucky bastards' over and over. Also liked the quote of their Tiger Moth instructor: 'Make love to the sky, don't shag it!'.
