I also thought it was generally excellent, but there was a certain amount of uneccessary "lilly gilding", such as the footage of destroyed Pucaras and buildings in a manner that suggested that the raids were in some way responsible for their state. Linking the pics of the crater with the general airfield destruction was a bit dodgy in my view.

The raids were very impressive from the point of view of the participants, but the program should not attempt to credit them with more than they did in terms of destruction.

I'm not taking away from their bravery, I had a pucker just thinking about flying those things in the south atlantic with no fuel.
