Pilot of 206 in "Local Hero"
We've just seen the last 15 minutes of Forsyth's wonderful 1983 film "Local Hero". My wife asked if the pilot of the 206 ferrying MacIntyre back to ABZ was Bill Nighy. My initial reaction was scornful, but when I looked and listened (you see and hear him on the R/T) I could see what she meant. Knock 25 years off his current age and the chronology feels right.
The credits are silent even on which company provided the machine (too early for PDG?). So go on, could everyone laugh politely and tell me who it really was? Thanks awfully.
