Heros of the Sky

It is possible that these are not the best progs to cover this type of subject, but at least the basic facts are there and at least they are trying to bring these brave men to a wider public. Remember not all members of the public are not a bunch of spotters like you lot and me as well.

The fact that blokes like Burling and Jackson have been given their time in the spotlight we should not be slagging this off, and I dont care if you are seeing a model Spitfire MK IX and not a Spitfire Vc Trop, it getting the story out to the wider public.

Yes it could have been better made and some better facts, but you need to look at these progs as windows into a important but often over looked area of RAF History other than Gibson/Bader/Johnson.

I bet there are more than one or two on this forum that have learnt something new from these programs.
