I have seen that one Bobby. It's not that great to be honest. There is some nice aerial action but the ground based stuff is pretty hackneyed. Also **spoiler alert***



Also at the end it shows him taking off on his last mission then cuts to his funeral. I read somewhere they ran out of cash. It's really bad because his death is iconic, taken down by a lucky Lewis gunner shot of all things. The best parts of the film are right there on YouTube.

On the spur of the moment I joined my local aviation society on Saturday. The main reason being that as well as a small museum at the airport in carlise, the society owns amongst other things a lightning, a phantom and the puppies croutons that is a Vulcan. So if you're ever up this way and fancy climbing all over this beast, drop me a line and I'll happily arrange a guided tour with the guy that used to fly this Vulcan. For info, this was the Vulcan that did the falklands run back in 82 to show the argies we could still 'deliver' to them from the UK.

I got the Ultimate Bond DVD set for my birthday so have been indulging in some Roger Moore nostalgia
Here is a scene I had forgotten is so great. I had a corgi set with horse box and little jet back in the day. Wish I still had that now:

That is a Top Gear classic. I got a model of that for chrismas a couple years back. One of the launching foam rocket types.

Totally hooked on Bond at the moment, heres another classic aerial scene. The petition to get this bad boy as an unlockable in Apache Assault starts here:


For some automotive mayhem you have to hand it to this, my fav car chase ever.
"all those feathers and he stil cant fly", Roger Moore...pure class

Spitfire on BBC4 radio about an hour long program...starts with talk radio for the first couple of minutes.


A moving drama by Mike Walker about the most famous British fighter aircraft in history, marking the 70th anniversary of the Battle of Britain. Framed by recollections from veteran Geoffrey Wellum, the play features specially made recordings of RAF Battle of Britain Memorial Flight Spitfires, including the only Spitfire still flying today to have fought in the Battle.

Inspired by real people and real events, the play traces RJ Mitchell's design from creation to legend and the fortunes of two young pilots who join a frontline Spitfire squadron just as the Battle of Britain begins. It stars Samuel West, Samuel Barnett, Rory Kinnear and Ruth Wilson.

Many factors were important in the Battle, but it was the excellence of the Spitfire which most famously evened the odds in the fight against the Luftwaffe. Mike Walker's play takes us close to this magnificent aircraft and gives us a feeling of what it was like to fly the legendary plane which became, in test pilot Jeffrey Quill's words, 'a symbol of defiance and victory'.
