    I think you are right, but in this case I think the authorites blamed him before the press did.

    Also, Capt’n last to leave ship is a practice no longer used these days.

    It should be noted that the helicopters seen in the opening credits are not only of the correct type, but correct model as well. Bell 47D-1/H-13 D and Es.
    A small detail most viewers (even most aviation fans) would miss.

    However, in some of the episodes, later models of the Bell 47/H-13 do appear.

    This takes Geekdom to a new high!! Nice one LoL

    At the end of the day, you do actually get what you pay for in China, low wages (Even with the expected 19% rise this year and next 5-8 years!). But, the “Workers” are literally pavlov dogs. Turn up for 40 hours and go home, not a brain cell was used for initiative. The cell leader or manager is the only one who does any thinking.
    Corners are cut to save costs, often diverting from the specified drawing requirements. EVEN ON AEROPLANES. Do not fly on a Chite built airliner. Chite = Chinese Shi**.

    Better have gone up the road to Indonesia or India. Better quality product, people “Think” and are innovative. Easier to deal with.

    How do I know? I have friends with clothing factories moving from China to Cambodia, India, Indonesia for the reasons above.
    I have witnessed first hand the aircraft production. Mainly on Carbon Fibre items….you know, wwhere they alter a ply direction because it’s easier to lay, once it’s been in Autoclave, this cannot be found.

    Yes indeed.
    It’s repeated on one of the Sky Ch. The Series lasted longer than the War itself.

    I can even tolerate the canned laughter.

    Watched a Disney Pixar thing called Real Steel. Simple feel-good kiddy film, enjoyable to watch with your children.

    Looking forward to “Red Tails”.

    Even I caught the BBC news from over here!

    US Marines urinating on the dead bodies of Taliban.
    I personally can fully understand them wishing to do it, never forget 9-11 etc. and never forget all the cowardice of IED’s.

    It is a practice which has gone on since Roman times, early reasons were probably to assist/speed in the decomposing and hence remove the smell.

    Dozens and dozens! I listen to music for the reasons stated above and have memories since my first record purchase in 1963 (From me to you…Beatles).

    Presently, the track I keep going for on Mp3 is “We don’t celebrate Sundays” by Hardcore Supersrtar. Simply because it’s how Rock should be.
