Well, THAT was odd... Quest (on Freesat) broadcast the highlights of Saturday's TT instead of today's road stage!
I've had to watch it on Eurosport catch-up instead.
Pretty foul day out there - ugh!
PS I just happened to change to Quest at about 00:30 and they were showing stage 4 instead of the scheduled episode of Wheeler Dealers... Obviously, somebody had finally noticed that Fred had clicked on the wrong button earlier!
The first thing that she did on the highlights show this evening was to apologise for 'Fred' clicking the wrong button yesterday! What amazed me was that nobody noticed. I could see them getting a few minutes in but an hour of it?
Please. It's pedantry. Thank you.
And the Messerschmidt 109s where actually Spanish-built Buchons. The huge air intakes immediately behind the propellers were unmissable.
No, but I always wondered, when the bus is first balancing over the side of the mountain, several of the occupants of the bus were at the back, beside the gold. They then move to the front of the bus to assist with moving the weight forwards. But in doing so, they left the gold behind. Why didn't they take as much of it as they could carry, given it's weight (and value)? It's been annoying me for about 50 years now
.
The Buchons huge air intakes were necessitated by the Rolls Royce Merlin engines fitted to them. Hispano Aviación also produced a version of the BF 109 with Spanish engines and the typical nose.
