Next Friday (8th Novemeber) BBC2 will be showeing a programme called Cold War, Hot Jets at 21.00.

The synopsis for the programme is as follows:

"Britain emerged from the Second World War in financial crisis, but one technological innovation provided hope for the future - a world leading jet aviation industry. During the Cold War, the jet engine became a lucrative export and a powerful piece of military hardware, but selling to the wrong buyer could alter the balance of power."

I have seen a trailer for this and it includes lots of real life Dinky Toys of the 1950s
