I've seen it maybe 30 times now and it STILL gives me tingles up the back, amazing!
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

BA ad great.  :wub:
Air France ad. Huh?  :unsure:  Two folk spinning round in circles!? Very odd.

It's an amazing bit of skill on ice though. However I can't see the link but I have noticed it and so have you so in the eyes of an ad-man it works ?
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

What it says to me is if Air France is anything like normal people they spin round in circles, get dizzy and fall over! Not a great series of events if you're flying!  ;D
I only noticed it coz my Dad asked me what the hell the ad was about and watched it on the big plasma in the living room! Only got a 14" portable in the bedroom at the moment so couldn't read the tiny writing!

I love that BA ad. Very evocative and stirring. I agree about the Air France ad, it does seem wierd, but as Narses says you've gotta understand the mind of the ad men.
If you love, love without reservation; If you fight, fight without fear - THAT is the way of the warrior

If you go into battle knowing you will die, then you will live. If you go into battle hoping to live, then you will die

Before checking it out for my Dad I thought it was an ad for that actors skating thingy from ITV!  :lol:
