-Thoroughly enjoyed Episode 1, and my two boys (aged 7 and 10) were riveted to it, especially the Spitfire dig, and have announced that they want to watch the whole series. Good score, BBC.

-Wot, only one?!
Ahem...
In all seriousness, it sounds fascinating. I'll have to see whether we can get it in the far-off parts of the former Empire.

-Was lucky enough to see some photos of that dig back when it was happening. The Griffon III that came out was a beauty. Lots of good bits. EN223. Maybe someday flying in 91 colors along EN224 in 41 colors?
Hey I can dream can't I? :)

Looked fairly intact but has crankcase damage from throwing a con-rod which caused the loss of the Aircraft.
