Brains, planes and automobiles
raeames23 June 2019
All the things we love this series for are here: the emotional drama but most of all the frocks and props. This episode also has vintage cars and planes to admire.

The only absurdity is the single-person biplane that is supposedly taking several passengers and their luggage to Paris. Even if they were lying flat on top of each other they would hardly fit in. Not that anyone would miss the view, since there are no windows in the body of the plane: always a bit of a giveaway, that! And you thought that budget airlines were a modern invention?

Nice passenger plane

To correct the other review, saying the passenger plane could not carry anyone, you can clearly see passengers getting into the body of the passenger plane (thought a door with windows) forward of the open cockpit. You can also see the plane's registration G-EAVR, and it is listed as a De Havilland DH.6 (although I suspect it is really a DH.9 which was a bomber frequently converted for passenger use). Previously they flew together in a twin-cockpit aircraft which appeared to possibly be a trainer variant of a Sopwith Pup. Overall the series is to be commended for the accuracy of all the period details, which add to the viewer's enjoyment of the show and it's many minor mishaps and melodramas.
