bas Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 You can actually find the full series (many hour long episodes) for download in the usual places too. (If you want to watch them on the big screen) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willedoo Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Very interesting viewing, thanks Peter. Also interesting to see the crew of the KM Caspian Sea Monster wearing tank helmets instead of the usual ShL leather inner/com helmets. A bit more padding in the event of a prang at least. Cheers, Willie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
