"What a shame helicopters were relegated to camera-ship duties! "
Don't knock it, chief! Some of us make a living doing that!
Anyway, how good a camera ship would dear old Concorde make? Tiny windows you can't take out and not a lot to see from FL God knows what...and Hawks no good either 'cos there's nowhere for the director ducky to sit...
Thinks - how much more impressive if the big silver bird had run through inverted and then PUSHED up - just think of all the cigar ash on the ceiling!!!!
'Twas a grand sight though - thanks Ma'am, for the excuse!
