    Annoys me that this and many other charities now tell you how much to donate. Whatever happened to give what you can, everything no matter how small counts. Now it’s Text to give £5 or £10 .Shake a few tins on a street corner you might get more in change than you think.It’s turning into big buisness IMHO

    Guilty!… built one or two many moons ago. Always loved the SeaKing along with the Whirlwind two of my favourite egg beaters.
    Would have loved a ride in a seaking [without the rescue bit] but only managed a Jetranger and Enstrom so far.

    Django Unchained [the d is silent!]

    A film by Quentin Tarantino who has never made [IMHO ] a bad film.
    This is no PulpFictiom or Kill Bill but a mighty fine film it is indeed.
    I am sure theres a Black Labrador running around in the background, because they mention him by name a lot!! 8/10

    Tower Block

    A fairly competent film about a sniper terrorizing the last residents of a condemned tower block 6/10

    Glad you enjoyed it.
    I thought it was interesting if not a little worrying with the seemingly ‘cowboy’ attitude to it all. Especially liked the “it’s too dangerous and windy to fly today my life is worth more” style comments followed by ” oh actually why not it’s fun” .
    As an aside it appears the sister is the one responsible for the show,she is a Canadian actress who along with her husband run the production company who made the show.She thought it would be a way to reconcile her brother anf father.

    The following was related by a friend of mine:

    Looking for a penis enlarger, he responded to an advert and eventually received a well constructed magnifying glass with a note of advice: Do not use in strong sunlight.

    Yes it’s always a “Friend” is it not?;):D:D:D

    Exactly i was wondering who pays for all the work that Cessna needed to get it to Poland, the customer,the ferry company!! or the person it was bought from.I think the lady from Poland should have got another pair of eyes on it before buying.
    Still it is flying and doing the job it was bought for.

    First episode pretty much as i expected. Overly dramatic ala Flying Wild Alaska and Ice Pilots. Every minor problem was escalated to the max, death is just around the corner!!
    Having said that the problems with the Cessna seemed quite worrying for a transatlantic flight.
    Still it fullfilled my desire to see more general aviation on the small screen some of the footage was gorgeous.
