Evo7,

Of course you may borrow it. I assume you mean "a chopper is born", not "a plane is born"??


If anyone's interested, you can buy the original "a plane is born" on vid although it's just the plane-building sequences, no flying lessons or pfa rally footage

The webby is www.aplaneisborn.com
The webby for a chopper is born is www.discoveryeurope.com/chopper

Can't say I'm enjoying the chopper series as much as the plane building series. As others have said, the learning to fly bits are short and impersonal. Part of the charm of a plane is born was seeing Mark Evans changing from complete novice to flying his own creation by the end of the series. It's almost as if in this program he's not really that passionate about what he's doing.

Apparently, the production company couldn't afford to pay for his PPL(H). Familiar story to many here I would imagine
