didn't see you there Iain, did you skip it?

Bit of a proverbial curate's egg; shame they couldn't come up with a better narrator than Murray past his best coupled with that David Croft chap. Think there were a few 'lost in translation' errors, completely ignored the recent history of ownership, funding etc and rather glossed over Touristfahrten too.
Seven out of ten.

It kept me awake, which is saying something when I am watching a film (managed to sleep virtually the whole way through the 1st Star Wars film when I took my boys to see it some 30 odd years ago).

Trying to squeeze 90 years of history into 110 minutes means somethings were going to be cut short, and I got the sense that most of the crowd up here (split 60/40 youngish to oldish with the cinema 95% full) were actually more interested in the long gone past rather than the recent history.

And Lady Helen is a lovely person. Had the pleasure of meeting her for the first time about 50 years ago when Jackie and I were both testing at Brands, and I spent a little time talking to both of them between sessions. So sad that she suffers from dementia now.

Could have done with the first half being longer. Once F1 left, things got a little less - shall we say, heroic?
Fascinating how the description of the origins totally avoided the H-word, and when Goering was presenting the silver salvers, the film clip was suddenly ended just as their hands got to just below shoulder level. But they had found some wonderful clips of the old days - I've seen a few before but none of these.

Interviews with the still living heroes were good too, esp. Moss and Stewart. Mass was good value too. And wonderful to hear Murray Walkers voice again.

5/10
