The crash was staged as was the flying into the airport, they even hired the police chopper and James may wasnt even the pilot only for the camera shots. And the airship was taken to each destination cos it couldnt fly very well. Not something i would of been proud being associated with

Same with the Stratos Replica, the stig wrecked it, blew an engine, window, Clarkson scratched the screen etc

Plus they dont do one flying lap, he did 30+ laps and they take a few shots at each corner so they can show a lap, the spins were also induced and it didnt do the manufacture any favours. Top gear went down in my estimation considerably last week when i found this out.

There is more info here if those care to read about it http://www.stratossupersite.com/foru...ead.php?t=7683

Im sorry this is top gear are talking about here. Can you really imagine that with all the other challenges they do jezzer may and hamster go and do alot off camera. When they do cheap car challenges like when they have the old volvo rover and audi. for under 100 pound can you imagine them going out on there day off and buying those cars. When they made geoff do you really think that they made it!!! No it was made by someone else.

As far as im consirened the airship was brilliant. If it didnt fly aswell as hoped who cares. It was a mamoth project and defently one of the toughest project top gear have done. Ive seen the caravan in person from a distance and it did look good. As for the airport im sure they would of HAD to stage that for safety perposes because LOTS OF PEOPLE COULD OF DIED if they just flew a air ship into the air space of an airport without teling anyone.

Dont come here and knock people about soemthing they have put blood sweet and tears into when all you know is romours on the internet.
