BBC2 Britian's Greatest Pilot
« on: 01 June 2014, 10:04:18 PM »
Just saw this great doc on BBC2, I can recommend it to all. The story of the 95 year old who started on a bi-plane and ended up on a Buccaneer, by way of landing the first jet at sea, is great. Although perhaps a but tech light for some, it is interestings and covers his role in aor training and then post war interviews with Goering. I'd be happy to see a ten-twelve part series!

Almost amazing is the pilot's ability to recount it at the age of 95!
