Discovery Wings - A Butcher Bird's Tale

On 'Black Friday', 9th February 1945, Heinz Orlowski was shot down in his Focke Wulf 190 by two RAF Mustangs while on convoy escort duty over Norway. As the young Luftwaffe pilot desperately struggled with a malfunctioning parachute, he watched his plane plummet to earth. He could never have guessed that, 49 years later, he would be reunited with his aircraft once more. A Butcher Bird's Tale is the story of Heinz Orlowski's career as first an Me109 and then a Fw190 pilot, and the story of the extraordinary effort by the Texas Air Museum to renovate and preserve his FW190, designated 'White One'. Thanks to the efforts of John Houston and his dedicated museum team, 'White One' was restored to become one of only five surviving Fw190s out of over 20,000 built. Pilot and plane were finally reunited when Heinz Orlowski was invited to visit the Museum. Join him first on an emotional walkround of this rare fighter aircraft and then as he climbs into the cockpit once more.

Leaving Home - Volume 3 - Colours

Written and presented by Sir Simon Rattle, the foremost British conductor of our day, this series forms an introduction to, and overview of, the music of the twentieth century. Each of the seven programmes feature over thirty minutes of specially-shot music in performance, with Rattle conducting the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra. Volume 3 - Painting and poetry developed a more abstract style during the latter part of the 19th century, and music was quick to follow. In Colours, Sir Simon Rattle looks at the shift away from melody towards an emphasis on tone colour or 'timbre'.
