Urban myth, I'm afraid. None of those character names appeared - neither did "Roger the cabin boy" (it was "Tom"). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captain...uble_entendresOriginally Posted by John

I get back to you latter on that I am sure when looking for this I heard one of these names being called on a youtube clip I try and find it but of course I could be imagining it
Loves anything from Pain of Salvation to Jeff Buckley to Django to Sarasate to Surinder Sandhu to Shawn Lane to Nick Drake to Rush to Beth Hart to Kate Bush to Rodrigo Y Gabriela to The Hellecasters to Dark Sanctury to Ben Harper to Karicus to Dream Theater to Zero Hour to Al DiMeola to Larry Carlton to Derek Trucks to Govt Mule to?

Hmmm, i think i know a good 90%+ of what has been mentioned & in full agreement
No-one has mentioned "Aeronauts" thoughIt was a French program/series about fighter pilots (if i remember correctly) which was English dubbed... Very good to, talking in the 70s
Do or die Aeronauts fly!
