*Heads-up* F-35B on BBC tonight

Post by Tally-ho » Mon Aug 06, 2018 2:43 pm

The RAF has posted on Facebook that Dan Snow goes behind the scenes at RAF Marham to tell us about this aircraft. BBC The One Show tonight at 7pm.

Bad timing, my television (I don't have one) in the "Oddfellows" will be glued to the weekend's superbikes highlights!

What, was Group Captain Vorderperson not available for this one then? Good to see Snow Junior gets a turn.

Better than nothing at all. The One Show isn't specifically for the RAF. I thought the featurette was pretty good actually. Short and informative.

Basically, Dan Snow gets another jolly in the back of a Tornado. The report didn't say very much that hasn't already been released.

Us OAPs don't have to have a TV licence - but for our money, we must be getting good value!
