TV Alert pre 2017

For those of you in the magnificent far flung north , BBC 1 Inside Out 19:30 tonight , 31 October

Includes the shooting down of Zeppelin L34 off Hartlepool in 1916 ; www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0816yjr

The story is also in today's Northern Echo ; www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/news/14832806....pool__100_years_ago/

Edit post programme ; interestingly I learnt through both the 'Echo article and the programme that there was a memorial to mark this event in Seaton Carew which was dedicated in May 2015 . I've attached a link from the Hartlepool Mail with a report on the dedication and I will leave you to spot the deliberate mistake ! ; www.hartlepoolmail.co.uk/news/environmen...hartlepool-1-7248350 and needless to say , I'm on the case to go and photograph it !

Last night's One Show: Model aircraft at Cosford including XH558

Great programme. Well worth watching.
Also includes a ride in a Spit and an interview with a WAAF plotter.

Available on C4 catch up for the next 29 days.

Hi Martin,
I did watch it,They probably wouldn't have got permission to fly a drone so close to the Oil terminal!
i havn't been over since the new heritage centre opened but think all the items will hopefully have been transfered over to the new one!
a trip is overdue i think!

This week's BBC 'Flog It' was from Duxford: www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01mmv39 (iPlayer catchup)

Around 40% there was a feature on the restoration of the B-17.

THough I'm not an 'antiques person' I found the majority of the programme very entertaining with some WWII RAF medals and an 'LS Lowry' up for auction.
