good coverage of XM655 (and a credit) - and MW without a goatee! :-o

no mention of 558 though :(

very appropriate narrator's name though! ;)

Well I tried looking at the date at the end (even though it was too small to make out lol) but it looked pre 558 restoration to me??

Judging by Martin and a few others, Im convinced those interview segments are from the 90s ;)

if you thought it was good you can leave back for the TV company - may encourage them to air more progs like this one!!

Nigel Baldwin was, I believe, the guy who was first responsible for suggesting 558 be scraped X(

I would think looking at Martin his bit was recorded about 10-12yrs ago, and I do remember a TV crew at Wellesbourne filming but not sure when it was I would guess about 5-7yrs ago???

Crew Chief may well remember

Believe the programme dates from 2003.

For anyone who missed it, here's the link to Channel 4's watch again service: http://www.channel4.com/programmes/engineering-britains-superweapons/4od

Useful for me this, as I got in from the climbing wall to find Gill had forgotten to set the video! X(
