This series was on TV when I myself was a boy roughly the same age as the main character, Chas McGill, It had such a profound effect on me that now aged 37 I am a Active Aviation archaeologist , with a profound knowledge of WW2 air losses, Crash sites, and aircraft weaponry from that period in time, the programme gave me a eye opener into the life of a gang of children in WW2 Newcastle, or any other part of mainland Britain. and Prompted me to ask my grandparents about the war, and the adventures they had, I have been waiting many years . just to be able to buy a copy of this excellent production, only waiting for it to be released, (If ONLY).. Please BBC release this Gem from the Vaults, for us all to enjoy.. it was one of your best, and deserves to be out there to be seen again by those who loved it.. and to be viewed by a new Generation of children / adults who never had the opportunity to View one of your most finest works .
