I was just indeed astounded by the BBC screening this, it is a national disgrace that no campaign medal was issued for those doing probably the most dangerous job of the war. Usually the BBC is full of politicly correct revisionist rubbish but in this case they managed a ballanced report for this the program makers should be commended ( but tucked away on a regional program I suspect it failed to catch the eye of the London luvvies ).

The crews of Bomber command have the respect of all informed national opinion for their bravery and sacrifices.......... we'll all informed opinion excepting the very Govenment who sent them on this dangerous and nessesary task and still show disrespect having since 1945 failed to issue a campaign medal.
