It is almost unimaginable nowadays just what the bomber crews went through, not just for one mission, but night after night after night, climbing into those tiny spaces, not knowing if you were coming home or not

There was a fella of 99 had a taxi run in Just Jane the other day. That could well be the last time a surviving bomber crew member travels in one.

I’ve just done some work down near Brooklands where they did a lot of development work. I’ve even strolled down Barnes Wallis Way!
