British aviation on the telly

Post by speedbird591 »

I'm not sure if I'm the only one here with a telly ... :lol:

Anyway, if you've got a friend with a set pay them a visit on Wednesday evening at 2100! BBC4 are showing the first part of a two parter on British aviation. This one covers military aviation in the 50s and 60s.

Same here Dave ,although I did catch the last few minutes and it looked as though it had been very interesting.
I assume that the second part is on next week.Should see some classic Brit airliners. :) EricT

It's on iPlayer.

I haven't watched it yet as I rarely watch live TV any more. It all gets stored on the Sky+ Box and I watch it when I feel like it. Skipping ads and pausing to get another beer - I love it when technology works for you :lol:

Absolutly fantastic programme..Pt 2 is I guess next week - [yes it is, I've just checked Radio Times.] A well filled hour, even including the John Derry crash & the TSR2 fiasco, but includes some modern filming, the meteor at Coventry, the Lightnings at Brunty & XH558 of course.

As mentioned above, as it's BBC 4 these programmes are bound to come round again, & most welcome they'll be too.
