Star Trek on BBC2 <<early o clock>> came to an end last week, which was a shame. Now we have Jean Luc, or something. (Space and) time though, have allowed us the chance to consider James T's leadership style. I'm not altogether sure it was a good idea to deploy forward onto a barren and uncharted planet with the 2ic, the Execs, no FP AND leaving one's starship in the hands of a Flt Lt nav either. Saturday mornings with the hard drive and watching some great TV will never be the same though.
But the folks in red shirts were the Enterprise's Rock Apes....
Always a doomed character, a red shirt on Star Trek - they always got taken out by some wily alien.
And being a black guy in a red shirt meant you probably wouldn't make the first advert break on American TV.

I think it was an episode of 'Futurama' ( recommended to anyone unfamiliar ) " OK we'll beam down to the surface - you over there, you wear the red shirt "... " Oh, Crap..."
If being seriously nerdy, while not that keen on most later derivatives ( Next Generation was very stilted ) I think the last lot, 'Enterprise' was great with some classic plots + effects ; sod's law they bin it just when they get it right...

Just a possibility:
http://www.raf.mod.uk/rafwaddington/...23squadron.cfm
Read the paragraph about charity
Probably no link what so ever.
Maybe somebody from 23 Sqn could comment.

Gerry Anderson's older brother Lionel was in the RAF, a wartime Mosquito pilot. 515 Sqdn - I think part of 100 Group. Clandestine stuff - countermeasures......
Died on active service over Europe. GA was also in the RAF - National Service 1947

moggie,
That was my kinda prog. Sadly, Ed Bishop, Michael Billington, George Sewell are no longer with us. Straker and Foster died the same week.
