I don't think I ever saw an aviation programme introduced by Raymond Baxter that was not good. The last one I recall was the 50th anniversary of Heathrow in 1996, when he was 74. He was, of course, a WW2 Spitfire pilot and did some significant things with it at the time. Afterwards a BBC presenter for the rest of his life, and knew his way around motor racing as well. I don't think I ever saw him present a single inaccuracy, which doubtless came from proper reserach, briefing and personal knowledge rather than being a motor mouth "personality"; current BBC Director General please note for you news coverage, documentary coverage, etc.
He probably did more for RAF recruitment than a whole floor of paperpushers in Whitehall tasked with this.
