Thanks.

Better than the average news piece - despite the MR2 footage creeping in at one point! :E

Liked the bit where Al McLean, standing next to the R1 with the TV commentator stressing it was one of only 4 R1s ever built, declared it as the first RAF aircraft capable of detecting and tracking a submersed submarine.
