Enjoyed that, but really cant recommend "Vulcan 607" book enough as there is so much more detail in it.

Cheers matey :thumbsup:

Great documentary, gives a little bit of the feeling what the tension must have been like on the flight decks of those aircraft over the South Atlantic. More recent events have shown its still an inhospitable place to be even in a modern airliner with state of the art electronics, let alone with the relative lack of technology (and fuel!) they faced back then.

(Applause emoticon needed!)
