In First of the Summer Wine, during the lead-up to the war, Mr. Clegg (Peter Sallis) read in the newspaper that the British military was going to use homing pigeons. He didn't think much of the idea, and in that show it was just a passing bit of dialog. I just finished reading a novel based on that piece of history, The Long Flight Home, by Alan Hlad. So that passing bit of dialog was fact, not fiction! It's a "can't put it down" type of book, too.
