A great programme and I'm proud to have helped (a little) with its production and filming. :thumbs:

A brilliant programme. Being only 21 now and working at Boscombe Down, it makes me say, once again, that I wish I was working there in the 50's and 60's to see such a packed flight line of many different types, compared to the reasonably bleak one I see now. A top documentary indeed.

Just under 2 hours to go - albeit perhaps more focus on the 'dark-side' tonight! :ninja:
