Liberator - why the chairs?

Why the chairs?

I've been asked this a few times since the first episode of Liberator. You might have seen them in miniature form, tipped up or lodged in tree branches along the way.

There are 12 chairs, one for each of the airmen on board the Liberator when it crashed. Increasingly they will appear as the episodes play out and finally reunite on the Marsh. It feels a good way to create a presence that honours our source material.
