Target Practice.
BBC Radio 4 – 16 April 2010, 11–11.30 am.
In February and March 2010 Michael Sanders and programme maker Katie Burningham worked in and around RAF Holbeach Air Weapons Range gathering material for Target Practice, a radio programme about a bombing range on the Lincolnshire Wash.
Katie Burningham has carefully drawn the complex strands together into a rich and atmospheric sound portrait. What emerges from this collaboration is an insight into a compelling landscape and the people who work in it, building and maintaining the targets used by British, American and European military aircraft for practice bombing and strafing.
Special thanks to the following for their help with this project: Kevin Wilson, Squadron Leader (Retired) Roy Brocklebank, Paul Everington, Lt Col Simon Lloyd at Defence Training Estates, and all the staff at RAF Holbeach.
