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
