I have the Canadian edition of Netflix and really enjoy it. Especially the offerings from Independent studios and the Foreign film productions. A fair selection of UK based programming too although the British offerings have diminished since XBox added the BBC channel to its menu.

Maybe I will keep searching for more stuff. Don't want to pay for Netflix when I already pay for cable TV. Was subscribing in lieu of premium channels at one time.

Which channel was this on, I'd like to see this as well.

The Archangel

BBC 4. There have been 2 programmes so far. They are most evocative. I remember flying out from Heathrow North on the BOAC flight to Burma. HN was a collection of military huts!

hi Richard, i enjoyed watching the programmes too on bbc about the British Jet age, i love planes and have been to various plane museums, nearest near my house is the Hendon air museum in Hendon. When you flew out to burma when heathrow was still basic :) was it a de Havilland comet like in the picture below, it is the first jet commercial aircraft in the world and its british, however the american took over with theor boeing 707 when the comet had structural issues :(

Hi GK. no, we didn't travel on a Comet.

For our first trip to and from Burma, we went by DC 4 Argonaut. The trip took more than 1 day with about 9 stops em route.

The Argonaut photograph from Wikipedia.

For our second trip, we flew out by Bristol Britannia. My brother and I had our return flights delayed thanks to illness. We returned with Pan Am. The air stewardesses loved talking with the brothers with their English accents!

Isn't the Hendon museum great. I have been there twice. The first time for the wake of a good friend who was an authority on air raft and had co-authored lots of books on aircraft. Ray was an expert on the Spitfire.

The second visit was one which I organised for a family history society group. We were privileged to see behind the scenes in the research library, and to handle original log books, maps etc from the Second World War.

My dad was in the aviation business. Like you, I have a love of aircraft. I wish I had learned to fly.
