Wasn't on Black Buck (civilian by then) but spent six years on tankers so I found the whole thing thoroughly absorbing. Yes, as always there will be nitpicks but this is a programme made for a non-professional audience, and I thought it a lot better than many I've seen.
Martin Withers and his crew were naturally given centre stage, but it was good to see Bob Tuxford and his crew featured as well.
Funny to think that when I first arrived at Marham I thought Dick Russell was an incredibly ancient pilot - now he seems younger at around 80 than he did 40 years ago! Also nice to see my old captain Jerry Price - the good-looking bugger's got a lot more hair than I have!
Most enjoyable
