Well I thought it was well done, and a commentary by a Raptor pilot from a chase 'plane.

Next week - Bf109 v P-51.

Not bad, but too much repetition for my liking. Properly edited, it would have made a much better 30 minute programme.

Here's last nights: http://wwiivideoarchives.altervista.org/portale/?q...

The only real crasher for me is at 10'00" where we're shown round a Merlin-engined 109 - and no mention of the fact by anyone.

It's not a bad programme. A lot better than most of the Friday night fodder.

The P51/ME109 episode has probably been the best one, but that may be because the pilot was telling the story.

It was good to see the Sabre and the Mig the week before last.
