As I've been led to believe the Luftwaffe radio navigation system for bombing was intercepted and altered at one point (the term "bending the beam" was used) leading to a lot of that raid dropping its bombs on rural areas some miles to the south instead of Liverpool.
No matter how many times I watch this footage it makes me even more homesick than I already am... Unapologetic military aviation 'nutter', ex-RAF and lifetime Scouser. Doesn't get any better than this !
A superb piece of filming from such an unusual viewpoint - made all the more special with the retirement of the "Tonka" from frontline duty. You've missed a treat if you never got to experience a Tornado, wings fully swept and ripping up the sky in person. Great to see the city skyline and Hale village. Thank you.
