Accepting that we no longer have a kipper fleet, I was amazed and annoyed that Coastal didn't even get a mention. So the Air Force contributions to the U-Boat battles were of less important than the SOE taxi service? No SAR service nor ASR marine craft? Also, in the beginning, I heard no mention of the RNAS. My tinnitus may have let me miss it but the wife didn't clock it either. So the great unwashed probably now think that the RAF is just an Army mob that was given independence and, for 5 years of its 100, employed some jolly nice girls to ferry its aeroplanes around. Anyway, we did get the huggyfluff tut tuts for Dresden and the sanctimonious comment from the bloke who encouraged it. All in all, I'm unable to hoist a BZ for it.
