What was it about? Comments?
It was about 90 years of the RAF, or more particularly Strategic Aerial Bombing, for which it was formed. Known in the trade as "Frightfulness" or later "Armageddon" it has always been a particular preoccupation of the chattering classes from which the BBC draws its recruits. This was a complete hatchet job done, oh so obliquely, that you weren't quite sure if you'd got the point or not. Of course it wasn't all dark, the forces of light were there too, the "knights of the air", the "cavalry of the clouds", both past and present, with talk of pride at defending our skies from the Hun (what? are they? oh, sorry!). Which brings us to Luke Torpy. Why do I get the suspicion that he was personally involved in giving this the RAF seal of approval? All publicity is good publicity, especially when much of it is filmed at Coningsby. Strong the Force in that one is, think I!
