    Default The Greatest Air Race documentary on TV

    A 'heads-up' for all fellow Aussies:

    On Sunday Night (December 8), SBS will be broadcasting this at 7.30pm (Adelaide time). It is a documentary based on Ross & Keith Smith's epic flight from England to Australia.

    I'll be in the air from Adelaide to Perth but my recorder is all set up!!

    Is this the one Nat Geo did a few years ago with the restored Vimy?

    No, I believe it is a new one with lots of archival footage and photos.
