I watched the Bomber Boys programme and thought it was well balanced.
As an ex member of the BBMF it was interesting to see that it is deemed necessary nowadays to wear bone domes when flying the Lanc.....however.

I thought the most telling point about the programme was that although the fighter aircraft defended Britain, it was the bombers who attacked and turned the situation around.
The anti Harris feeling existed up to and beyond his death in the 80's. I was at his funeral and the fact that I as a member of the Air Force my presence was to be kept "under wraps" was very telling.
