Watched the program last night. Nice to put a face to Shawn.

Didn't know a lama could go to 41,000 feet!

Had hoped to share snippets of the program with you all in cas esome had missed it, but my Sky+ machine (PVR), had a melt down. sorry guys. :-(

Only comment from the wife in the whole hour?.... "why does that bloke's beard look like its stuck on?" (referring to Quentin Smith sat in an R44 singing its virtues).... sorry Quentin!

Impressed with the Robbie at number 2 though. The reasoning they gave included it being the aircraft that brought helo flying to the masses ('cos of its price); and that they are selling them hand over fist at about 17 a week; yada yada yada.

Robbie at #2?

Can you hear that whirring noise?

Its Lu spinning in his grave, god bless him!

regards from Blighty
