Last night's episode on this side of the pond feature the de Havilland Gypsy Queen - I think the registration was G-AIDE but my memory may be playing tricks. I was wondering if it really exists somewhere or was it just a clever prop.

You lot probably saw this episode last year since I think we are a season behind the UK.

G-AIDE was a Miles Monarch (EDIT)...............the DH Gypsy Queen is an engine

I think you'll find it was G-AIDL, one of Air Atlantiques dH Rapides.

Had the reg incorrect as per above - should have been G-AIDL. Old age, eyes playing tricks, poor memory, the usual lame excuses!

The character stated the plane's name was Gypsey Queen, named after the engine. She was very pretty (the actress, not the engine - although I suppose you might also claim the engine is pretty), anyone know her name ... and don't say Gypsy Princess or any variation of same. ;-)

You mean Louise Delamere [IMDB to the rescue again ]

Yes, that is her, thanks a lot!

Cheers :drinkers:

Well, when I get things wrong, I do a very thorough job! Per yet another repeat (which BBC America tend to do a lot) of the Louise Delamere Torchwood episode, the plane was called "Sky Gypsy" - don't know where I got "Gypsy Queen" from :brick: :doho:

Just to set the record straight, as if it really matters ;-)

I remember this episode thought it was alright soon as I saw the eagle on the tail I knew who's it was
