Spit or Swallow?
Following his earlier enthusiastic programme about creating and building a 1:1 'Airfix' Spitfire, James May followed it up with an excellent programme last night on BBC-TV about scaling up a model Swallow glider to cross an equivalent distance to a Dover-Calais channel crossing.
The programme will be repeated at 0-dark-00 on BBC1 on Saturday morning and is also available on the BBC iPlayer.
Apart from some rather childish moments deliberately allowing both a £40 toy helicopter and a styrofoam Piper Cub to crash, the programme was, I thought, very good indeed. In fact better than the Spit programme was.
So which programme do other PPRuNers think was better - the Spit or the Swallow?
