BBC 4 30 Jul Operation Crossbow

Hopefully this will be repeated; the story of PI staffs at Medmenham using 3D stereoscopic photos gathered by RAF PR aircraft revealing the activity at some place called Peenemunde.

Fascinating stuff

Actually, that WAS a repeat, but I happily watched it a second time! Fascinating programme, well worth a 3rd watch!

Saw it on a pay TV channel recently and I noticed that they interviewed the pilot who was the subject of the 944 Spitfire YouTube. He took photos of the concrete dome that was to be a V2 launch site in France. In the photo the camera is pointing up to the top of the dome!

I watched it yesterday and generally enjoyed it but those wing roundels on the PR.XI...

Edit: Unless I'm cracking up, the dome was for the V3 not V2 - not that they mentioned that.
