Cheers

Thanks for the heads up, My grandfather was a rear gunner in the Lancaster in the UK (and survived!).

I was lucky enough to have a tour inside one last year during my holiday in England. An amazing machine!

Thanks for the heads-up! Will record that one.

I saw the promo for that last night, it looks like an interesting doco.

Cheers

Was an interesting doco with some nice archival footage
but was spoiled a little by showing B17s and also
what looked like some pearl harbour footage??
Would also have been nice to see more on Barnes Wallis's bombs
( which only the Lancaster could effectively carry )
Overall tho, a good program.
Better than current reality TV cr@p.

Hi Andrew,

Just watched the show. The casualty count (human and machine) was amazing.
