Thumbs up

I have to say that although the show has virtually eliminated Dave Mallon's learning process (which was supposedly the whole point of the show), I think the historical side has made this a very worthwhile series.
I'm so glad to see a historical look at the Battle which actually goes to the trouble of highlighting the vital role played by Dowding and Park.
As for the modern day stuff, some brief, but nice, air-to-air shots - more please! Pity we don't have more than one episode left. It would have been nice to achieve both the historical and modern trainee angle, but I guess I shouldn't be too greedy.
Well done to those involved in putting the show together.
