Possible Assistance with a Television Programme
I hope you can help me. I am currently working for a television company based in London called Firefly.
I am working on the very initial stages of developing an idea for one of the terrestrial channels in the UK which would recreate various incidents that have occured on board commerical passenger jets that have been dealt with by passengers and crew while in the air.
I would very much like to speak to someone who knows a lot about the aviation industry about the feasibility of getting a jet aircraft airborne and having a clear air space in which to film the sequence. I thought I would post a message here on the test pilots forum as you will probably have more knowledge about airspace that is set aside for test flights by ATC in the UK and airfields that may be able to help us.
It would also be great just to get some feel for the aviation industry and any further contacts you might know who could help as the development progresses. I would also like to find out about sources of information that may list unusual on-board events that occur and also about the pheasibility of recreating these on board.
Everything at this stage will be strictly 'off the record'; I am only looking for background information! However, if the programme is commissioned, we will probably require aviation consultants both on and off screen. I realise that at first it seems like an impossible project, but even if that is the case, I would love to speak to you to hear the reasons why!
If you are able to help, or know someone I can contact, please call me on 020 7033 2302 or email on [email protected]
Many thanks
