Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear! What a letdown on this last episode. Some great snippets in the last half hour especially re: the polish pilots and the VC recipient.But the presenters reminded me of my earlier years watching Blue Peter! Great vintage aerial shots though, shooting down the "Nazis".I noticed towards the end that they described them as "Germans" or the "Luftwaffe"
As an aside I remember being in Biggin in around 81 or 82 and having a long conversation with "Jacko" Jackson and I think his son was "JImbo" in the wonderful King Air flying club bar. If I remember both at that time were flying with the BBMF. Jacko flying the Lanc and Jimbo flying the Hurricane. If I am wrong someone here will correct me I am sure. Happy days!
