Surely the RAF and BBC can make a better hash of a very important milestone.
GRRR!
Poor old BBC, gets hammered if it doesn't cover the RAF and gets hammered when it does. What would be the point of putting a seasoned aviator in the back? Would likely be the dullest 20 minutes of TV/radio I ever saw or heard.
As an aside, re-read your book the other day Mogwi - now that was
not a dull experience...!
