I watched this programme with much pride for my country and all those young people who made the ultimate sacrifice so that we can now enjoy freedom.

It also reminded me of my father who was a flying instructor during WW2. He always told me they could not train the new pilots quick enough. When I reflect many of those he taught must have been killed in action. Also he used to recite the first verse of the Flying Instructor's Lament.

What did you do in the war Daddy?
How did you help us to win?
Circuits and bumps and turns, Laddie,
And how to come out of a spin!

I hope BBMF continues as long as possible - we need to be reminded of those brave aircrew who did so much for us.
