What a contrast, what a difference 35 years makes! Crisp informed commentary from which I for one learned much that I did not know before. Never intrusive, never gratuitous, but pertinent and knowledgeable. Who might you ask gave this excellent presentation? Tom Fleming!
I would follow up I42's commendation of how to organise a military spectacular with your link for the BBC, MJ, of how to broadcast it!
The other great attribute of this 1977 coverage is a salutary reminder of how blessed this nation has been to have HMQ as our Sovereign for the last 60 years. Here she was already 25 years into her reign. May she long to reign over us yet!
Of course, Tom Fleming. A very rare slip up on his part (or his researcher) about Coningsby. Unfortunately he passed away two years ago (which I didn't know having done a quick bit of research). I was just going into the RAF Museum at Hendon as an 11th Birthday treat when that little flew over on the egress. Was a bit loud.
