You'd think if CASA were on the job, then Mr. Jones would have been aghast at a TV crew asking him to do some of these stunts ... "What! The regulator would be on my arse in no time!"
It speaks volumes that the thought obviously never went through his mind...
On so many films you see the disclaimer:
"No animals were harmed in the filming of this picture"
.. even when it looks like horses were blown up/stabbed etc - it's all "movie magic".
One would think that an operator would insists on the following disclaimer after each episode:
"No aviation rules were broken during the filming of this episode. Some events were edited later for entertainment purposes, and scenes shown as one event may contain footage filmed at different times."
