this is an amazing drama, 2 of me mates are extras in it and one of them pops up a hell of a lot lols. love a man in an RAF uniform me and geoffrey wellum was such an amazing person x ps the song is just called come on chaps x
Looks a great series. Spit mk1's would be really hard to get hold of now a days, His Spit has a 4 bladed Prop and I think Mk-1's had 2 then 3 bladed. Its a minor nit-pic and not one that ruins the series. It looks much better most shows of it kind. Interesting format the narration mixed with the flashback. Good stuff.
@MrSithgod it wasn't a series. I was a one off bbc production based completly on Geoffery Wellum's memoir First Light. Geoffery joined the RAF prior to WW2 and was fighting the BoB at age 19 with 92 Squadron. He eventually led the first flight of Spits from a carrier to go fight in the seige of malta in 43.
@GarryHarriman Hi Garry, yes - I got it through the library (had to order it as all the copies they had were out on loan) and they phoned last Sunday to say it was in. Picked it up, came home, sat reading for the rest of the day, finishing it off the following morning. I just couldn't put it down! Read a number of online reviews and a lot of people have said the same - they read it in one or two sittings - it is so compelling. It's like you are there in the cockpit with him!
If only our planes were like that today...
