Apparently, it's been on before.

Not brilliant, but Ok I suppose. They could've done a bit more on the History.

Seems a shame that they closed such a prominant BoB Base. How many current RAF Bases were important BoB Bases?

I watched it - only 30 mins long (not long enough). Looks like a BBC East regional prog thats got a national slot.

Was lacking in history. Too much on Jaguars

& the final parade.

Nice to see the late Raymond Baxter getting a brief mention too

Since, no one else said anything, happy birthday Bob, hope you had a good day, putting aside the "year older..." bit :partyman:
