# Nice one!
I can think of far worse films to support.

And as for Richard Todd: I've seen him about when I've been down there visiting my mum. It's odd, because I see him more as Guy Gibson than I do as RT, and given that the mission was planned about 1/4 of a mile from the house I grew up in (the building used to spook me as a kid), it's all a bit resonant for me.

Funny how random , yet how deeply-woven these things are.

# My father did some work with Barnes Wallis,
as was the nature of his work at R.A.E Structures dept.

Funny thing is - The father in law of the nurse dealing with my dad turned out to be a metalurgist who had worked with him at the R.A.E!
