Well at least the 'Warbird Brigade' got some work out of it. Not sure what audience this was for as you got all sorts of items like a Hurricane attacking a Blenheim which may have confused those that had little knowledge beforehand. No doubt DS has his fan club but I do not find the style in keeping with the subject. Plenty of scope to do a 'then and now' of certain locations that were involved, and everything looked so clean and tidy (especially the aircraft).A re-enactment of visits to the White Hart followed by the night club would have been quite appropriate if they wanted to go for reality. Of course these programs are largely in the hands of researchers who just use computers, but at least we did not get a squadron of Miles Masters going off, and they used pretty accurate Lloyd Loom chairs this time. Not a hit with me as Kenley missed out.
'REPEAT PLEASE REPEAT PLEASE' Always like that bit in 'The Film' whether it actually happened or not it captured the spirit of the Poles who just wanted to kill Germans.
