Well, I liked it.

I have to disagree with some of the naysayers here.

The presenters personal point of view was the glue (no pun intended) that held the whole piece together.

An ex Royal Marine, crippled in a car crash gets to not only learn to fly but fly (hands on) in a DH Mosquito fulfilling a childhood dream.

It inspired me.

The crash footage was dramatic, and to any layperson, new information. Any story such as this needs to see warts n all.

The only bit I was dissapointed with was the actual rebuild, which was glossed over. I suspect another documentary will be on its way soon telling the full story from first flight, retirement, rebuild back to first flight again.

Compared to the garbage on the other channel the other night, I Survived a Plane Crash. This Mossie story was a breath of fresh air, kudos to the producers etc.
