Rams Island Posted by Michael Savage
Greetings All, We now have a broadcast date for Dig WW2, part of which was filmed with Dan Snow last summer on Rams Island. The first episode will air on Monday, May 14, 21:00 on BBC 1 NI. The following two episodes will play the following Mondays. Not sure which episode Rams is featured in but seems an interesting series. During WW2 USAAF personnel from the American base at Langford Lodge took time off to relax on Rams Island. Made a change from working on Lightnings, Thunderbolts and Liberators etc. Some of the visitors carved their names and home states on the Beech trees. At the start of WW2 a detachment of Belgian Troops were actually stationed on the Island. A television crew from 360 Productions filmed Dan Snow British Television presenter on Friday evening 5th August for a series of historical programmes on WW2 to be aired by the BBC. Surrounded by airfields and with the famous Sandy Bay Flying boat base Lough Neagh and Rams Island played a large background role in the war effort. This was mainly training, servicing and armament production. [www.bbc.co.uk]  Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum. Online UsersGuests within the past 30 minutes:
