I will do my best, technology permitting! Hopefully at marginally faster than the usual speed of about two years from now.

What is clocks? No stress.

Btw, I also recently listened to a BBC radio version of The Flare Path and wondered had you come across that one, because I liked it, probably the most so far of the lesser known Rattigans I've tried, and I thought you might well too. It was about the RAF in WWII. I think there is a contempory film (???)

I have seen The Way to the Stars (1945), which is the film Flare Path was rewritten into. I watched it in 2022 when falling through John Mills and never managed to write about it given the everything else of that year, but I liked it a lot and in hindsight it also contains one feature-debuting Bill Owen along with Michael Redgrave, Renée Asherson, Stanley Holloway etc. (It had a Network DVD. Third-party availability still looks like yes, but I have no idea how useful that abstraction is to you.) I have never seen or heard a production of Flare Path. In other words, I would love a link if you have one.
