You can listen to the program or download it here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/features/de ... f#b04nvgq1

Unlike TV programs it should work anywhere. It does here in Italy anyway.

I see the Beeb has corrected the caption on the second photo. Now it says 'Eric Brown at the cockpit'. Earlier today it was 'Eric Brown lands a Vampire'. 8)

Thanks for the link, I'm listening now. Capt. Brown is also featured prominently on the AeroCinema site giving his memories of various things from his experiences in general to opinions on specific aircraft that he flew.
