If you go here, you get:

A countdown to the last minute and you can see a 20 second preview of what's to come.

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

All sounds good apart from the last bit. All that'll do is encourage a bunch of idiots to go a try an fly the things and kill some poor kid in a local park... ::)

Mmm, but more chance when you haven't, and believe that it's fine to go to you local open space and try to be Douglas Bader with no idea about learning, being insured etc... ;)

There are three possibilities for you to watch.

You could go to the top gear website, www.topgear.co.uk and watch the last episode before the next one starts, it is rolling and no library of previous show. The only problem here is that if you have an overseas IP address, the website knows and you get a copyright message that restricts the show to the UK. I have a T-online IP and a couple of times it worked and the rest it did not.

The next option is to get around this with a proxy server. This never worked for me, so it was the last option for me.

Depending on your thoughts about it, you can download each epsode the following morning from the link below as a torrent (That is how I watched the whole last series without any problems)
