PS. No crappy music (especially that dreadful DIY stuff, played by somebody’s mate on an Argos keyboard) and no excruitiating commentary, such as ” The infamous Fokker triplane, as flown by the Red Baron’ and ”Legendary Spitfire, which won the Battle of Britain in 1940!”

If there has to be a commentary, make it stuff we do not already know. And not read by nasal-sounding retired accountants from Droitwich, who struggle to understand the script.

Did it sink ?

I hope you didn’t damage your camera, when you had that fall.
Presumably, there were enough people around to help you up again.

I have just finished ‘A Good Clean Fight’ and my abiding impression is how bleak it seems. Of all the chracters, very few are spared, and they meet pretty grissly ends. The sense of futility and doomed endeavours runs consistently through the narrative. The author would probably claim that this is not inappropriate when portraying that particular conflict.

As an aside , I find myself with two copies of ‘How they made ‘ , PM if you want to strike a deal!

Me neither 🙁

This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang, but a whimper’

I think by the fact that you posted ‘Pilot RIP’ , you introduced an element of respect/rememberance which is of course absent in technical reports.

Its funny how light-hearted and humerous threads get ‘bogged-down’ like this.
