Flying for Fun

on BBC Two England

A dramatised version of Jack Parham's book about flying a very small, very slow aeroplane around southern England in the 1930s.

His experience of that time profoundly influenced artillery targeting methods during and after the Second World War, but this film conveys his sense of joy and wonder at flying simply for fun.
