Did you watch it? I though it was a very informative show and some of the vintage footage was fantastic. Could believe either that 444 airfields were built in Britain during the Second World War.

I believe I saw some of this during Tuesday night on BBC 4. It was well worth watching with clips from Heathrow and Manchester, and some stuff from Liverpool aswell.
