    Just bought a classic film from HMV




    Couldn't resist it - last time I saw this film i was still at school, but I watched it again yesterday

    WOW

    Its long, very long, but absolutely fascinating, and some of the photography is incredible. Ok, Chuck Yeager is one of the most self gratifying arrogant SOBs in the world, but this will show you what a gutsy bloke he was, the sequance of him breaking the sound barrier and at the end of the film trying to get the altitude record in an F104 (and very nearly killing himself ) will blow you away.

    For those of you with an interest in this kind of thing, watch this film. Hence why I posted it here as opposed to Films+entertainment.

    Looks like it would be worth a watch - back to the old favorite of Topgun last night whilst messing about in the Warthog in LOMAC, much fun!

    Does it have anything to do with flight perhaps?

    If cars had followed the same developmental path as computers, a Rolls Royce would cost £60, get a million miles per gallon and explode once a year, killing everyone inside.
