I have to get this off my chest - who the hell does Neil Armstrong think he is!!!!???!?
I was watching Discovery Wings last night, and up pops NA with his First Flights, talking about the DC8 and the 707. Great. Then he emits the immortal line (which damns him for ever in my book) -
"Before the British Comet started falling to pieces.... the 707 was shrinking the world"
OK. Technically it is true that the good old Comet I had some undesirable tendencies. But to use this to try and forget the whole aircraft in favour of making the DC8 and 707 out to be the first jet airliners??
Yeuch.
Diamonds in the Sky has to be no 1 for me. Does anyone know if it is out on vid/DVD?
