Ahh that was fantastic, BBC4 is by far the best channel on tv.
Having just finished reading 'Empire of the Clouds' about a month ago it was great to see all the footage and but names to faces.
Can also not recommend 'Wings on my sleeve' by Cpt. Eric 'Winkle' Brown enough as well.
Cpt. Eric Brown has also written Wings of the weird & wonderful vol 1 & 2. Which are his experiences of flying loads of experimental stuff in Germany at the end of WWII & also some of his development work at Boscombe Down & Farnborough.Having just finished reading 'Empire of the Clouds' about a month ago it was great to see all the footage and but names to faces.
