But more importantly the Aeronauts were Tonguy and his sidekick ( the fat one ) Lavadieu.
The plots were exactly as FNG described so well, but also seemed like retreads of an earlier Wars of Castille and Aragon, sword and cannon fest that used the same actors, theme composer, dubbing mixer and more --- now what was that called ?.
I found the most memorable Aeronaut episodes were in the second series where the lads were on exchange to an Amazonian military regime and helped out with their stuff in Beavers on floats. The producers obviously had max asssistance from the Armee de l`air and other government departments because a lot of the flying footage was very good.
Has anyone mentioned The Planemakers ?. Top cast -- are they all dead yet ?.
Moonstrike was tale of everyday resistance folk made with the Citroens left over from Maigret. It probably just pre-dated The Great Escape and was `Allo `Allo without the laughs. Notable for the cardboard Lysander and Halifax in each episode.
Sad but true. GH
