Seen it on two occassions now, well worth watching. Once viewed a programme on Bader, found it to be very interesting especially on the subject of his peace-time RAF service, it appears that he could not settle down to a quiet life running an RAFstation and needed a challenge.
I often wonder whether he just felt bitter about having been downed and was not able to continue to fight the war in the air. :think:
Nigel.

I used to be an optimist but with age I am now a grumpy old pessimist.
