George Blake:

Null, I don't have the faintest idea what you are rambling about!! However I trust you noted that considering all the hype and propaganda surrounding the release of these POWs they all seemed in good shape. Even the PATHE NEWS commentator remarked on this. Interesting to see one of the returnees was George Blake.

O.P.

I was simply quoting the descriptive text that accompanied the video. Unlike you, I actually read the stuff!
I was in no way criticising the content or subject of the actual video - simply pointing out (on a 'historical' forum) that the aircraft was wrongly attributed to have been manufactured by DeHavilland rather than Handley Page.
