Thank GOD they shut that "music" off X(

I would have been happier with engine
noise and cockpit chatter, myself....

Nice to see, though, and it IS about time
they did this :ymapplause:

Danf.
I like to do my planning retroactively!

Get a decent feed from the comms and that would be the dogs doodahs.
I'd love to here the dialogue from climbing aboard, FRC challenge and responses, and the general on board banter. Personally I think it would be interesting. Others may not.

In that case Nickolas, you would like the VTTST/Planes TV DVD entitled 'Vulcan Interactive' which does just that (other Vulcans are available, especially XM655!!). It even has footage shot from the prone position window years before it has just been reinvented, also AEO stuff (with Phil Davies) as well as up front with the drivers - I can thoroughly recommend it....

That was good stuff. Brilliant , tiny, high quality camera used, which I saw years ago at the NEC motorcycle show. Its used by all sorts of sports from scuba divers to free fall parachutists and weighs next to nothing and you can stick it to your helmet if you are a biker. Hope to see more stuff like this, its such good quality. :D
