I of course realize that, as I watched the programme.

They glossed over the demolition of the other 747 though…

Not surprising, seeing as the program was concentrating on the stripping down and maintenance check of G-CIVX, not demolition.

Yes I enjoyed that one too. They glossed over the demolition of the other 747 though. There was a much better one done on Discovery, on how they recycled virtually everything.

Wouldn’t they have test flown the aircraft following such a major service ?

Did you spot the two techies laughing and pointing at Sideshow Bob when he was walking through the avionics labs?….

All in all, a good documentary.

Fine documentary indeed!
My only beef is with the presenters hair. He looks like a student. I detest that neuveau style crap.
