Training to be a fighter pilot in the 1940's.


Tonight at 9pm on C4,part 1/2.

I shall be watching this.

Set to record after I saw a trailer for it a while ago.

Well it was interesting, and whether you like him or love him, he did show his ability, if only he could resist adding his own comments therefore interrupting those advising him. I thought Anna was brilliant and believe she could get a brick to fly a plane.

Part 2 9pm tonight.:}

If you haven't seen his Volvo, it's epic.

One of the most down to earth people there is. I remember in the film Closer To The Edge, about the 2010 IOM TT where he had the huge crash. Talking from the hospital bed he described the crash, the front wheel tucked under "I've got it . . . . I've got it . . . . I've got it . . . no I ain't!" and bailed out at 90-100mph just before the bike piled into a wall in a fireball.

I always wondered what those pieces of tape were flapping about on the wing as the machine guns fired and now I know.Tape placed over the gun ports to stop the mechanisms from freezing.Live and learn :}

me too.
