Four-Eyed Buck,SASS #14795 Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Last night PBS's Nova series had a show on an English proff. recreating Wallis's dam bombs. Quite interesting as he had to do some of the work up from scratch because some of wallis's papers were destroyed in a flood in the 60's. Even went so far as to have a miniature(1/4 scale) dam built on a Canadian lake and had a bush pilot skip a scaled down repro into it from a converted DC-4. Two hour program that kept my interest through the whole thing. the proff had computers to help him, Wallis didn't.....Buck OOpppsss!

Charlie Harley, #14153 Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 I saw the commercial and really wanted to catch the show but had meetings run late. I hope they show it streaming from their web site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a particular show gets a good audience, PBS tends to re-air it at a later date. Slackwater Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
