[78-L] Glenn Miller interview?

[Dingo]

Rodger & Al,

Don't know why I didn't think of it before, there's a 'good' copy on 
YouTube.

The interviewer was Vernon Harris for a (BBC ?) programme called Wishing 
Well.
The emphasis on the names "Jeff", "Rodney" and "Rocky" makes me wonder if 
these were code words for the Resistance.
