This should interest Peter....I am sure that he will recognise the training Captains of the Trident with some wonderful in-cockpit shots.

Excellent, it's a good job he learned how to land the Trident... Especially after seeing him bounce that poor Chippie around.

Indeed I do.........but it must have hard enough to learn to fly in black a white without that din in yer lug'ole. :worried:

Seriously.,,,,the constant radio at home and in supermarkets and at work is probably the resaon I grew up hating radios.

I never have one on and I never buy music because I don't listen to music....play it but not listen as such.

The last music I bought for myself was Machine Head by Deep Purple in about 1975. :worried:

I loathe background music and by choice would never dub it onto videos ......just hate any sort of background noise unless it's a proper aeroplane :tunes:

Couldn't agree more Garry.

Main reason I stopped buying DD Video. As I explained to them, if I wished to listen to music I'd put the Hi Fi on.

Aircraft and dubbed music just don't work for me.
