Claude Grahame-White’s factory tonight (fri 6/4)
Might be an interesting programme, providing you can put up with Dan Cruickshank:
Brick by Brick: Rebuilding Our Past 9pm - 10pm BBC2 (not Scotland), BBC HD
Architectural boffins Dan Cruickshank and Charlie Luxton are in Hendon, north-west London, watching the painstaking rebuilding of aviation pioneer Claude Grahame-White’s factory. He’s a legend in flying circles, a dashing man who tried to convince defence chiefs of the importance aircraft could play in the First World War.
Cruickshank and Luxton are on hand to watch as bits of the original building, including the watchtower, having been dismantled, are cleaned. The factory slowly takes shape at the RAF Museum in Hendon, thanks to a dedicated and very careful group of builders and restorers.
