A Yesterday's Witness special
In my aeroplane for two, I will sail away with you.
Don't waste any more time below Let's get married and up we'll go. In my aeroplane for two, for miles and miles we'll fly.
Oh what a sensation, a honeymoon in the sky.
This was being sung in 1904 within months of the news that the first flying machine had actually managed to fly.
Tonight's programme starts when the British pioneers were, literally, getting off the ground - ' The only way to learn to fly was to go and teach yourself. You did straight runs, getting faster all the time. And then you looked over the side and found the ground was gone! ... ' Then through to the time in the early 20s when young ex-Royal Flying Corps pilots flew for the world's first international airlines in ramshackle converted bombers.
Wiith old film - and music - from the archives, with new film of present-day enthusiasts who fly some of these veteran flying machines for fun, and stories by some of the intrepid pioneers themselves, we get a taste of the ' honeymoon in the sky.'

A series made specially for audiences in the BBC Regions and now seen countrywide.
Tonight, from BBC North East: Fellmen
The first of two films from opposite ends of England about life and work in the countryside half a century ago. This week two retired labourers from Cumbria, JACK STUDHOLME and BOB STEPHENS , remember the way things were when to be a ploughman was the ambition of every country lad. The world has changed since then -progress has been almost unbelievably fast and violent. So much so that the life recalled by Jack and Bob might have been in another century - even another country.
