Les Chevaliers du Ciel

Not sure if anyone has seen this, but a great bit of footage that everyone should enjoy watching...

Pretty.

What's with the missing rear canopy on the T-bird at 2:36?

You have to watch the movie to find out why - about 3/4 of the way through.

Ahhh ... CBA to watch films, but assume that's a Navigator Dispensing device?

Don't blame you, a c**p movie. It is actually a ' bad guy', not a good guy, (ie Navigator), dispensing device.

Dan Junior wanted to watch this a second time as he had seen it on an Air France flight and being a bit of an underachiever as far as languages go (especially French) hadn't understood all that was going on. So I acquired a copy on my next trip to Shanghai.

I suspect it may have not been a fully kosher copy by the fact that it cost about 50p, but also for the hilarious subtitles which had obviously been written by a Chinese using Google translate. For a start, they kept referring to the Mirage as the "Image" and they got funnier and funnier until finally I gave up when "Look out behind you!" translated as "Alert - he is in your behind!"

Crap storyline - but great flying sequences.
Especially the Mirage (or was it a Rafaele) hiding underneath the Airbus.
Worth a watch just for the lack of CGI - she's all real jets there boys.
Tom Cruise - eat your `airsick have to resort to backscreen projection' heart out.

I was about to say the same thing, Wander.

Edit: it seems we can watch the clip at ImPlaneCrazy's original post, but not on a "mobile device." We cannot see the full movie in France - presumably we could with the use of a UK IP address. I've got a thing for that somewhere.

But who can remember the original TV Series

The Aeronauts ... a French children's TV series, also screened in the UK, (1967 to 1970) about two fighter jet pilots, Michel Tanguy and Ernest Laverdure, and their adventures. It was based on a comic book series by Jean-Michel Charlier and Albert Uderzo titled Tanguy et Laverdure.

The original French title was Les chevaliers du ciel ("The Knights of the Sky").

What you need is a VPN - or is that something to do with seeing a female's underthings through her tight trousers.....

Unable to watch youtube in France

Not sure if this will work or not, but if you have google chrome there is an add on called "Zen Mate" that makes your computer "think" it is in the UK. Worked for me whilst I was in Afghanistan last Christmas (allowed me to watch BBC iPlayer).

Coff, You beat me to it. Must have been repeated in the early 1970's as I still remember three of the stories in the series and I would have only been 3 at the end of the first run. The one with the two French Canadian exchange pilots who get substituted in transit by some bad guys to carry out some form of espionage. The one were the Blond haired pilot bangs out of his Mirage III while searching the North African desert for a missing test IRBM warhead that was driven off course by the bad guys (can't remember if he was shot down by them or not) and ends up finding the warhead and guarding it. Plus one where the two French pilots are at a research establishment with a Canberra fitted with a massive long pitot what played some part of the story.

All very James Bond'ish.

I've still got the 1973 annual at home. Certainly beats The Flashing Blade and White Horses.

Thanks everyone for the advice about VPNs et al. I've just downloaded Zen Mate to my laptop (they're apparently working on an iPad version) and it is superb. Now I can even watch iPlayer. Thank you, golamv.

Wander, try this link...
