I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

Agree, although I thought the footage of the John Derry crash was unfortunately inevitable for the programme, but I thought the way the Comet story was covered was much better.

I also thought the Jet Provost sequence was both anachronistic and vanity. It seemed overly long and while it was part of the 'RAF all jet air force' that was of the '60s and not the '50s. The Piston Provost was still the principal trainer into the '60s.

The U2-RB45 coverage was much less well known and therefore much more interesting. I wonder where they found the chaps to interview
