This is a repost.
And it is on iPlayer - that's how I listened to it originally. I provided the link in my original post.

Has anybody positively identified the dumb bint who initiated Clive's wrath?
Name and shame...

Mary Wakefield, hang your empty little head in shame... You're deputy editor of the Spectator too? I presume you had to sleep with someone to get that job...

So Air Chief Marshal Sir Keith Park has made it up on to the fourth plinth in Trafalgar Square at long last. Arise, Sir Keith, good job. I salute you as I cycle past, for without you (I'm told) the Battle of Britain would have been lost and the free world a goner.
OK, I'm lying. The truth is, I'd never heard of Keith Park GCB, KBE, MC before the campaign to plinth him began, and I still can't quite figure out what all the fuss is about.
The campaign was frighteningly well organised and well funded: field marshals, MPs, Tony Benn, the vice-chancellor of Oxford – they've been at it for years, pushing for Park, but why?
Surely there are other, better known and just as heroic or deserving candidates. What about the Queen? There are other questions too. What were the Parkies thinking when they chose to depict their hero pulling on what looks like a pre-op surgical glove? And why such intensity and lack of humour?
When Boris Johnson was first elected Mayor of London, he had to sit through interminable and vicious debates between the various fourth-plinth competitors. During one such, he was struck with inspiration. "I've got it!" he said. "Let's forget the silly old statue and just rename Hyde Park as Keith Park!"
It's an excellent joke I think, not to mention a terrific idea. Not one Parkie even cracked a smile.

Apologies.

Is there any way of merging the threads
I have a book by Leigh Deighton called ' The Battle of britain'
( wonders if a certain journo has heard of that)
'An austere mild mannered man who was perhaps the RAFs greatest expert on all aspects of fighter direction'
However although getting on well with the pilots he was soon sidelined by those higher up who didnt understand what he'd done.
