Default New show on T.V.

Here in the U.S. on Public television (KERA in N. Texas) they've just started an 8 episode show titled "Bomber Boys." Its a historical series depicting the B.C.A.T.P. It's filmed on an old air base in Ontario, I believe. I watched most of the first episode last weekend and truly have few complaints about authenticity (so far!). The student pilots are bunking in what appears to be a Nissen hut and the aircraft shown, a Tiger Moth, C-47, Hurricane, and Lancaster are all correct. My only observation is that their drill is sloppy, typical Air Force...arms bending at the elbow when marching, one is out of step, thigh not parallel to the ground when halting and turning, and turning to the left instead of the right after receiving their wings from the C.O. Now if you'll excuse me, I have some Fly shit to pick out of my pepper.





CHIMO!
