The High and the Mighty

That John Wayne film turns out to be "The High and the Mighty" and has just been repeated on Australian TV.

I was just going to bed when my colleague telephoned me to say that the film was on. I turned on the TV and blow me down, the film was just where I left it. I sat up late late watching it.

John Wayne made San Francisco and landed on the last drop of fuel. What a hero. It was certainly a life and death epic. Funny thing is, according to Wikipedia, the airplane used in the film disappeared over the pacific in real life. The wreckage was never found.

24 hours more here in the southern hemisphere then flying back to blighty.
