Is that Duxford ?

We watched about 40 minutes of it and then gave up . The docudrama format is always a turnoff, but when we reached the stage of each of the 6 characters uttering one sentence at a time in rotation it became intolerable. And the sloppy production was exemplified by the fact that the " German &qu...

A frightening experience, particularly as it did not seem possible to extinguish the fire. What is extraordinary is that this was one of two Pratt and Whitney uncontained failures on the same day, the other being on a Boeing 747 in Holland just after takeoff
