OK - but rather thin!

An interesting programme, but with some glaring omissions.

No real mention of the UK free-fall weapons before 1957, only a scant mention of the H-bomb OP GRAPPLE tests. No mention of Thor IRBM and Blue Steel weapons.... Neither that Skybolt worked correctly on the very day that it was cancelled.

But the Holy Loch episode was very interesting; MacMillan and Kennedy managed to find an equable solution- and without undue interference from Mountbottom.
