The Saturday Play: The Aerodrome

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

Rex Warner's novel about the lure of fascism is dramatised by Graham White. Roy and Bess's romance in the idyllic countryside of thirties England is shattered by the construction of an aerodrome on the edge of their village. Bit by bit the sinister military installation takes over the area.
