Title: The Adventures of Tintin: The Red Sea Sharks
Post by: Devonai on April 04, 2013, 08:59:33 AM

Any fans of Tintin here?  I eagerly collected the series in the '80s, which wasn't easy since they were only being released a few at a time.  This adventure in particular is responsible for my interest in WWII-era aircraft, as it features the Mosquito prominently:

There are some interesting scenes, such as the Mosquitoes going after armored scout cars, and one of questionable realism when Tintin shoots one down with a STG-44 (talk about a golden BB).

Is that the one where they first meet Skut?  The Captain gets mad at him because he thinks he's telling him to "Scoot", and not just his name, right?

Yup, that's the one.
