Operation Crossbow on the beeblecee

[TdC]

those people were all so smart and brave. with all respect to current armed forces all over the world, I would go as far as to say that the heroes of yore will never be surpassed.

gifv info
is it on iplayer ?

 

[TdC]

sorry man, seeing as the beeb doesn't let us filthy foreign terrorists watch iplayer without resorting to trickery, I have no idea what is on and not on it

I'm sure you can find a copy in the usual places.

spoiler comment for those who've not yet seen it yet

Spoiler

awwww maaaaan when the old pilot was saying about the photo Spitfire "this is the most beautiful machine, with no guns (no guns!!!) to mar it's lines, like a butterfly" all the while touching the leading edge of the wing with his old hands, and then later, they display a picture taken from above a bomber showing the flak and tracer ammo being deployed against the air force, depicting exactly what shit they had to deal with. stuff like that had me welling up and blubbering in to my tea ffs. I'm going soft in my old age :/
