OK, so you could be inspired to fly by Whirlybirds and even, at a push, by Aeronauts, but presumably no-one has been moved to rush out and buy a headset and a dog-eared Trevor Thom by watching that recent sub-Knight Rider cack about the super-secret techno police helicopter (featuring that talentless geezer out of Battlestar Galactica, I think).

Come to think of it, wouldn't you also be put off by that duff Beeb RFC series "Wings"? Very disappointing: seemed as tho the writers had never read early Biggles, let alone "Sagittarius Rising", and instead produced a sort of Upstairs Downstairs with add-on rotary engines. By contrast, I thought that the ITV adaptation of "Piece of Cake" was quite good (despite all the historical errors such as Spitties in France) and was surprised that it was never repeated.
