Having listened to the programme on Saturday it seemed, on reflection, to have been rather dominated by discussion around the Foynes museum and the new Glasgow-Oban seaplane service - both aspects interesting in their own right, but it would have been good to have had some more on the empire routes. Mrs S senior was disappointed by not hearing more reminiscences such as her own on the joys of the early start from Poole (after an early morning call in the overnight hotel), the arrival in Egypt and Nile landing, and the long over-desert sectors across to India. Having not heard this series before, I was surprised to find it appeared to be essentially live, with contributors phoning in. I would imagine that this format rather limits the number of contributors that can be included.
