Never mind Raymond ....
.... where was the smooth talking Airsound when needed?
Rossian, dear thing, you’re too kind. In answer to your question, airsound was sitting in front of the telly feeling a touche discombobulated.
As it happens, I’ve been trying since autumn 2011 to persuade the Beeb to treat this problem seriously for their Jubilee coverage.
This isn’t the first time the Beeb and I have had these conversations. Indeed, I’ve done quite a lot of this sort of stuff for them before, including with the aforementioned and fantastic Raymond Baxter - my commentary mentor.
But my powers of persuasion turned out on this occasion to be rather less than I had hoped.
I’m still trying to persuade the Beeb that I want nothing more nor less than to have aviation portrayed accurately on telly, especially when it’s involved in big and significant events.
But I don’t seem to be doing a very good job.
