Am aware it wasn't really appropriate to the theme of this excellent very emotive and moving program that I sat through with my 8 year old Son. However, it would have been just so fitting to have mentioned Alex Henshaw who passed away in February!
I true British Gentleman and friend AND one of the finest aviators and test pilots our country has ever known! Can never hear a Merlin and not think of him! RIP Alex
(in the unusual event that anyone reading this doesnt know who Alex was? He was the Cheif Spitfire Test Pilot at Castle Bromwich in Birmingham during the War! They tested the Lancs here too)
Hats off to the BBMF
