Interesting programme C4 Monday

Post by Nigel H-J »

Copied from an advertisment and by all accounts should be very interesting and indepth as it is on for 2 hours.

19:00 Tomorrow
Channel 4
Who Downed Douglas Bader?


Documentary examining the mystery surrounding the last flight of Douglas Bader, an RAF hero from WWII who claimed he was forced to bail out over France after a collision. Aviation historian Andy Saunders and Bernie Forward, a specialist air crash investigator, go in search of Bader's Spitfire, trawl through records, re-examine the evidence and piece together eyewitness reports in order to present a very different account of Bader's famous last flight

Duration: 120mins

Was it the Navy. They apparently to have won the Battle of Britain after all, so maybe they downed DB too... :wink: :lol:

I'll give it a miss. I'm not a fan of new theories... :roll:

Never thought of it like that Dave, but now you've mentioned it I am beginning to wonder whether their findings are going to be very different to what we have all been led to believe.

If so, I can only assume that there may be questions regarding their findings and, at the end of the day, some may even continue to accept Baders' version as being the right one regardless of what the experts conclusion is or are!! :think:
