A remarkable insight to the Desert war 😎

There was also a reference to a Bristol Freighter in the dialogue, would’ve like to have seen that 😀

Of course, that naughty Victor K2 & her sisters would be needed too 😉
A fabulous series and i so wish theyd found the funding for a second and third series as im led to believe that Wilfred Greatorex had them written.
Just finished watching series, there was indeed scope for more, great pity it wasn’t followed up.
Still, great series, glad to see it re-released 😎
To me he was one of the funniest, but very subtle, comedy actors around, his Mr O’Reilly character in Fawlty Towers
Same here, who could ever forget
O Reilly: I tell ya Mr Fawlty, if the Good Lord….
Basil: (cutting in)… is mentioned one more time I shall move you closer to him!
Sad news indeed, a great talent lost RIP.

It might have looked like a W & G build, but you can’t deny it was a very much a British export success.:D:D:D
In all respects other than aesthetics, I wholeheartedly concur that for its time the Meteor was fine aeroplane,the number of versions & sales speak for themselves. 😎
Royal Navy pilot dies trapped in his sinking jet 1958 – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qg0Jj-2x5rM&feature=related
Something I’ve wondered on about this incident, could the pilot have attempted to eject when the Scimitar began to sink? I mean, I seem to recall it worked for a Wyvern pilot who I believe made the first successful underwater ejection.
Maybe the seat wouldn’t fire anyway due to canopy being jammed? Not sure, not that up on Scimitar technicality’s.
Anyhow, notwithstanding, a properly nasty incident.
ME262, purely on the grounds that it looked so good, unlike the Meteor which looked like Wallis & Gromit made it. :p
