me to - the mossie has to count as one of my favourite aircraft of all time. The whole thing was spoiled a little for me with the yank vets trying to drop those bombs, bit of a filler I think.

I agree, didn't seem to tie in with the rest of the prog. Nice to see something good on terrestrial tv for a change (although I have to admit to being fixated on the monkey progs on bbc1 this week )

The Mossie was a wonderfiul aircraft and I would suggest that it was the greatest aircraft of the entire WW2. It was the world's first truly Multi Role 'plane. The nearest equivalent in WW2 was probably the Junkers Ju 88 - which was 100 mph slower.
