It's a good thing they didn't have to rely on some of Ian's cars.

Sad that they didn't know about the NZ one which is now flying again - or is that the aircraft they are referring to ?

Anybody else spot the short clip of a Boston? They used it twice by reversing the film.

SWMBO also got tired of them labouring the point the presented was in a wheelchair. That said you can't deny he enjoyed his flight in her (the Mossie not the wife :lol: ).

I was aware that the sircraft had been rebuilt in NZ, and flown in airshows there. Very remiss of them not to mention that.

I had no idea it was the same one

After their claims it was the only one flying and they had given the impression it was something they'd achieved, I checked and found out it was the same one.
