Britain's greatest machines - channel five

[Hilldodger]

Just been told about this. Apparantly the series begins in 1910!

So, no railways, steam engines or bicycles, then

All three of the items that you mention were at their height in 1910 HD. Do you mean 1810?

Any mention of the V series bombers?

Controversial but oh so freakin' amazing.

He hasn't got there yet!

Tonight ended with the Vickers Vimy.

Mmm,

Perhaps it should have been called Some of Britain's Greatest Machines.

How you can do such a series a miss out the Victorian era is a bit odd.

I was interested in the bit about Harry Ricardo as my brother worked for Ricardo for a time after graduating and was sent by them to Detroit to head up the development of Hummer 2 (I admit with a mixture of pride and embarrassment!)
