As for an aviation interest/link, if you didn't watch the ceremony then you wouldn't have seen the helicopter flying along as 29 sets of fireworks were fired from the ground forming 'footsteps' across Beijing and into the stadium, representing the 29th olympiad - very creative
NOT SO!!! The footprints were pre recorded, then digitally enhanced. The little girl singing was lip syncing, not her voice. A question on C.N.N. " Can they not find a girl that is charming and can sing, why use two girls to portray one character".
Off course the U.K. will not be able to compete, you cannot evict people from there houses with no componsation to build an Olympic event.
At least you will have uncensored internet access in the U.K.
