    It doesn’t seem to matter what it is, but if it’s mechanical and moves, Guy has a natural ability to understand and operate anything… he was the same on the army hovercraft.. the instructor said it takes days to get it…. Guy had it sorted in minutes.👍👍

    I generally have the feeling that Guy gets to do a lot more because people see he takes it absolutely seriously. He's not some TV idiot faffing about going "oh, look how much I suck at this!" while laughing his arse off... No, it's go in, and go in 100%, as a result, they allow him to do much more. I admire that about the man.

      Its a tragedy that the Lancaster is the only WW2 RAF bomber we have flying, pity no one thought to park a couple of Halifaxes and Stirlings in an old hangar somewhere, god knows we had enough redundant airfields at the end of the war. 👍

    Whilst the overwhelming majority of the young pilots wanted to fly fighters, selection of pilots for the multi engined aircraft was based very much on their ability to being able to coordinate 2 or 4 engines. The fighter boys got the glory but the bomber pilots with their 6 hour or longer sorties in a dark cockpit over a well defended Europe with searchlight belts and night fighters to contend with did the hard flying.
    Full kudos to the pilots (and crew) of Bomber Command and to Guy for his role in supporting them.

Not only do I have children at school now, I have somebody works in the education department as my partner. Although they might teach some of the history doesn't mean that the different generations. Appreciate it. Also know that my generation, if there was national service, would step up to the plate and help countries like the Ukraine. Now I don't think most of the generation now would.

      ​@@Android-vk8yh I'm 47 and spent an entire year being taught about WW2 in history lessons in the early 90's and I would much rather have spent that year learning cooking, basic car maintenance or something useful day to day. They should absolutely be teaching kids about the dangers of fascism and racism and WW2 is a good example for them to use, but teaching kids about WW2 pilot training? What a total waste of their school time that would be. That's coming from someone who loves history and have seen untold numbers of documentary's about WW2. As for your claim that you would step up to help Ukraine? Nonsense. You could do so already but haven't. You say you would if there were national service so you're saying you would if you were forced to lol You think younger generations don't step up to the plate? Who do you think makes up the majority of our military right now? Pensioners? Sadly there will always be people who look at the generation after them as being weak or useless. Your parents generation probably thought the same about yours. Just get on with your own life and realise that future generations are no better or worse than yours, they just grew up in a different world to you.

      @@Redswipe appreciate your reply. But yet again, I don't think you read my first or my second post properly. The reason I made the comment is because the program highlights the difficult conditions they had to fly and fight in.The reason why we're both able to sit on this platform and discuss anything is due to the fact those servicemen were protecting Britain during world war II, my parents just about survived world war II,n and maybe yours did too being bombed and my dad was a serviceman after the war so I will continue to put those service persons on a pedestal, I will also continue to teach my children how important the poppy appeal is.

But blenham was unregistered as he was a machanic 1940 but due to shortage of pilots he assisted from flight engineer to pilot but still ground crew then his co sent him for flight training and in 4 hours he passed flight in a tiger moth as a pilot . Because of his experience in twin engine planes that what he flew but during Africa Italy and far east he supported the group that didn’t exist started with s finished in s and he also did Berlin air lift he also showd us defensive moves at 13 fifty years later some things he told us is now on you tube .
