I agree entirely with Papajuliet - I thought that I had mis-heard the Nuremburg date until i ran through the recording that I had made.

What a bad slip-up, just goes to show that John Sergeant was only reading the script with no deep knowledge of Bomber Command operations - poor research on behalf of the scriptwriter as well!!

Took the shine off of an otherwise excellent programme - albeit a bit short - 81 operations by Sqn Ldr Bill Lucas DFC, wish we knew more of him, and the other survivors shown on the programme as some of the gunners had quite a high op total.
