No, but we used to listen to Test match Special on the ADF when you used to be able to get it on 1215 kHz! You could also get the Light Programme on Droitwich 200 KHz ( or kcs as they used to call it)
I haven't had a single flight up front where I wasn't listening to the local news, sports, or occasionally music up front through the ADF. With so many ADF stations being taken "off air" here in the US and the ADF and AM radio being in the same band (that's why AM radio in the US used to have to take the 10-second indentification breaks - to allow the morse code to identify the transmitter in use so that pilots could determine which tower they were heading towards), I've been able to catch every Texas Rangers, Dallas Cowboys, or Dallas Stars game I've wanted while in Dallas and every Colorado Rockies, Colorado Avalanche, or Denver Bronco's game in Denver.
Makes for a great background on those long solo cross-countries.
The music soundtrack (suicidal as it is) isn't coming from the flightdeck. You will note it's 'in sync' on all directional shot changes. Also.. are the lights off angle at the destination airport or did they really come in on 4 whites?? It would appear they did looking at how far down the runway they landed! That's women for ya I suppose
The music aside.. interesting to see the updated 748 panel. Looks almost modern! ;-)
