Apparently, this is either very close to being filmed, or already has been, but no-one knows where or concerning what. France would be the obvious answer.
Anyone know?
Regards,

It wasn't half bad. Thye were investigating a German position off Sword beach called Herod's Well, which the Dorset Reg. assaulted on D-Day. They did struggle a bit on anything modern, but that's to be expected, and they managed to determine that the massive hole in the ground seen on contemporary air recce pics was an unfinished communications centre.
They also found an unfinished gun casemate, which had been entirely unknown previously.
Bad bit? When they showed a "75mm anti-tank gun" like the one which was supposed to have been positioned on Point 54 (the main dig), which looked nothing like any German PAK (AT gun) I've ever seen!
Still better than C5's Hurricane dig the previous night.
Regards,

It's on next Monday night at 9PM, but still no details of the actual programme. My money's on a vehicle recovery of some kind, or perhaps an aircraft.
