This evening Charles Brewer's all-1 flyers' show will come on the air for the fourth time. Once again listeners will be able to imagine themselves in the mess hut of an aerodrome ' somewhere in France ' during the latter part of the war.
A newcomer to the ' Flying High ' programme will be the inimitable Tommy Handley , who was in the R.N.A.S. during the war. Dawson Reed was also a Naval flying man. Jack Warman has appeared in every ' Flying High ' programme to date ; Hugh Wakefield is a well-known actor, and Richard Dolman has been associated with George Grossmith in a great many successes.
So it is ' Flying High ' again, and the rafters will have a retrospective ring indeed for Sir Alan Cobham and Flight-Lieut. Tommy Rose , Brewer's guests for the evening.
'Flying High' will be repeated on Saturday (National, 4.0)
