Enjoyed watching this last night, some good stuff, but it seemed to me a lot of "glossing over", particularly towards the end in terms of how they got safely back to ASI - apparently "a miracle occured" and that was it!

It does seem a pity, though, particularly bearing in mind Martin W's heavy involvement in the programme, that a link was not made (maybe at the end) to bring us to the present day and give plug a to VTTS....many more casual observers would probably be amazed to know that the man exercising XH558 over their heads at RIAT etc. 30 years on is the same guy who carried out this mission (albeit as reserve to.....).
