nah you got it wrong PPP.
Ridley Scott (who's brother Tony made a rather popular featurette about the US Navy in 1985, I forget the name...Top something?) is far too busy promoting his latest movie.
Has anyone else seen the trailers for "Black Hawk Down"? The US DoD even manage to make a pro-military movie out of one of their worst operations....
"A nation watched....as the unthinkable happened; Now discover the spirit and witness the courage......the world never saw"
There's a tear in my eye already!
And what did the MOD make of two mighty wokkas in Tomb Raider? Did the RAF provide ANY help to the makers of the TV versions of "Bravo Two Zero" or "The One That Got Away"?
I suppose some red tape warrior will blah on about how it "promotes the wrong kind of image" and isn't what the military exists for.
Of course, burying one's head in the sand and leaving everyone to guess that film makers get more help from civvie contract flyers creates a much more positive image.
