I guess this is more for the senior members amongst us
Anyone remember the BBC TV show "Moonstrike" from the early 60s???
I have googled myself silly trying to find the theme to it --- It seems to me it was whistled at the begining
can anyone confirm this?
Also was there not a series about Bomber Command and Lancasters from the same period???
Thanks -- Im having a senior moment

Never heard of them Leif but you're year or so on me may have made that difference :think:
I'll keep a look out when I do one of my end of day 'boredom' searches
All manner of things turn up on those

Leif I have been trying hard to find a site that can play the music track but unfortunately have come across a brick wall...Even the BBC don't seem to have it for streaming!!

Oddly enough, Leif, I was thinking about Moonstrike tonight. I drove past the old Pathfinder base at Bourn, and from the new A428 fly-over I got a wonderful view up the old runway in the moonlight. I know Moonstrike was about SOE agents rather than bombers, but it seemed appropriate. I do remember the opening titles and the theme music, as it was essential viewing for my dad, and used to come on just as I was sent to bed.
