Looks like a DVD I'll have to buy if I can find it (Amazon doesn't seem to have it, but I'm rushing).

I've seen tremendous strength of character in many, many of our local teens.  I think they'd do marvelously.

The clip was awesome, btw.   :aok
The music was even better. :) Nice & swanky.

It was on last year? I think they have a new series coming.

The BoB pilot sketches were my favourite parts - but I their other stuff was very funny as well.

It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)
