I loved the programme - the best thing to happen to TV since Michael Palin unpacked for the final time. I am looking forward to the next two installments from this entertaining, intelligent and thoughtful young pilot turned presenter.

Watched the first episode flying the Foxbat in Nepal. Thought it quite entertaining but a bit Hammy of the Russian guy feigning oxygen deficiency when they got to 11000ft. He was fine again by 10000ft though so that was OK

On a sad person's note, I wonder what the engine was in the Foxbat. Most are fitted with the Rotax 912 but that sounded much lower revving. More like an O-200 noise.
