I'm learning to fly, but I ain't got wings
Coming down is the hardest thing
I won a DVD of this at Doncaster last year - haven't got around to watching it yet, though.
I laugh in the face of danger - then I hide until it goes away!
Thats the one I donated as a prize !! I want a full report on it by next Doncaster

Thanks for the heads up Paul, will have to watch this one again.

I remember watching that show years ago but only a few episodes. Was pretty good from what I remember.
Yes! I have the series on DVD & its quite good. No CGI all proper Spits etc.
Tom Burlinson who played "the Man from Snowy River" in that same named Aussie Movie plays a main role as a pilot nicknamed "Fanny" Barton.

Saw this in the '80s when it came out on TV in the US, then found and read the novel. I really enjoyed the dramatization of the campaign, so I bought it on VHS when it was available. Guess I will have to look for it on DVD and relive the experience...by the way, I recently found Danger:UXB on DVD and have begun watching it again - what a lovely little series IT is, too!
All the best,
Matt
