Many thanks. I would commend this very comprehensive programme about the genesis and development of the RAF Bombing Campaign in WWII. It portrays the guilty men as Churchill and his Ministers (agreed) and Robin Gibb as one of the few people prepared to stand up and be counted as a champion of Harris's Old Lags and end the 67 year wait for a National Memorial to their 55573 colleagues who paid the ultimate price (agreed).
That here and there Stephen Fry makes the odd dubious claim in his commentary is as nought against those two great truths.
Time that Churchill was outed as the great betrayer.
Time that the late Robin Gibb was commemorated and honoured by the Royal Air Force for the essential part he played in reminding us all of the debt we owe those so very young men.
