Did anyone watch the programme on BBC2 last night about the PIs of medmenham and Op Crossbow? having read 'spies in the skies' this year about the same subject, i thought it missed out a fair bit on the history of the section. not a bad doc though, all things considered!!
pierce09, Thanks for the heads up. I recently read Most Secret War by R.V. Jones, so this was a nice complement to some of his stories recounting the feats of photo reconnaissance pilots Cheers
I was Stationed at Medmenham between Sept. 1966 &June 69. Lovely setting. I used to work in the Officers Mess. Could be creepy late at night..
I was driving down the A4130 yesterday & saw a big house to my left, wondered what it was. Now thanks to this thread I know what I was looking at, cheers. Program mentioned in post #1 on iPlayer here. http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b011cr8f/Operation_Crossbow/
