Plane Stupid.
Does she realise how much carbon was pumped into the atmosphere to just make that ring she had in her nose. All the energy to build the gold mine, all the energy to mine the rock the gold is in, all the energy to crush the rock, all the energy to remove the gold from the crushed rock, all the energy to melt the gold, all the energy to ship the gold to the UK, all the energy to light heat and light the workshops in which the ring is manufactured, all the energy to transport the intro the shop, all the energy to heat and light the shop, etc etc etc.
She can go and complain about aviation when she starts living a subsistence carbon neutral life style in the woods.
A hypocrite.

Add me to the list of disappointed but not surprised. Too many references to 'planes' and none to aircraft or aeroplanes.
It's aimed at the lower orders who the producers assume wouldn't be able to grasp anything more technical. (I did find the single-pilot Navajo operation interesting though. Apart from a couple of dead-of-night RHS trips with a friend in a National Airways Navajo, I managed to avoid that type of flying).

Anyone tell me why the girl learning to fly at Elstree was doing so without wearing any seatbelts, lap or diagonal? I always thought they were compulsory.

Nice girl, but if she really has taken 25 hrs or so to solo, she has got a long, long way to go to achieve her main ambition.but good luck to her.
I was interested to see her instructor following her through on the control column on take-off after so many hours tho'
