Has this prog been televised before? I seem to remember something similar and it was excellent.

I read this which covers a similar subject but into a much greater detail.

^^^^ like the look of that for my dad, his first love the Lightning. Still has countless models of them along with his other "birds" in his study and hes 70. Think he flew them in the mid/late 60's, not sure when.

I remember the Lightning! And I made a model kit - Think it was probably Airfix or Revell.

Really enjoyed that, and must admit to getting a little excited when the Vulcan came on!

Is that because you thought of me Nath?

.....Did you want Nath to think of you, Ian?

I watched "Vexed" so I'll watch this on iPlayer.
