I was involved at the time and I distinctly remember us all looking at each other when the news broke describing what had been organised with all the pre planning, endurance flying, number of refuels, only to be completely astounded that they.................................missed the bloody runway!
Incredible waste of time and effort. A massive
PR blunder if you ask me. Time has cooled things now, but I can't see the programme doing anyone any favours, stirring it all back up again. I suppose it depends on how the director/producer bias the programme.
