Channel4 now put most shows up on YouTube once aired. The superb ' fighting the red barron' was up the day after!

Maybe not in the USA. I got this response from the channel 4 website:

"This video contains content from Channel 4, who has blocked it in your country on copyright grounds."

A pity. BBC documentaries always seem to have more class than USA produced ones. Seems like the BBC targets an older audience without a lot of gung ho "Rambo" type BS.

Ha! Now that's funny

Reminds me of "Airplane" where a 707 sounded like a DC3. At least then it was intentional.

It's actually pretty common to mix up sound tracks, especially since a lot of gun camera footage was silent with the sound added later. Most films nowadays would have you beleive that every airplane in a dive sounded like a Stuka.

Why I said YouTube as I'm aware that both channel4 and the BBCiplayer (which us English get on our ps3's just to rub it in!!)are not available outside of the uk. They usually post them for approx a week after transmission. Alternatively try and find a uk based proxy as I think it's related to ip addresses. Then there's always the dodgy route....

Are they using footage from the 1969 film? It's been so long since I seen it.

I thought the same thing when I saw the trailer for this.. looks very BoB with some CGI cut into it.

It's available on DVD, at least in the states. BoB and Airplane are the only DVDs that I ever watch LoL.

Some of the footage is the BoB film, other footage appears to be from "dark blue world"

They should really find people, who still know how to make a WW2 Warbird as they would have back in the 30s and 40s, and then use them for the movies. (Engine, Frame, Controls, etc. would all be realistic to the time period. It'd be great I think.)
