On BBC iPlayer now.

Wonderful documentary of the golden age of British aviation.

Some wailing and gnashing of teeth may result.

One nuclear bomber? No, let's have THREE different nuclear bombers!

One new fighter? No, let's have at least six or seven different fighters!

Inconceivable these days.

We even sold some jet engines to the Russians who reverse engineered them ( then used them on us in Korea ) Ooops.
I think we actually just gave them to them as opposed to selling.....
Don't forget we gave the technology to the Americans too.
