I was talking with an old friend a couple
of weeks ago, and we were chatting about things ‘Prisoner,’ when he made the comment
about the helicopter seen taking off outside the ‘The Schizoid Man.’
He asked me if I'd noticed that when the
helicopter takes off it doesn’t have buoyancy floats fitted to its skids. But
how when fully airborne it’s suddenly fitted with the buoyancy floats, and when
it lands again the buoyancy floats have gone again!
I congratulated him upon his
observation, but said he had failed to observe that these are two different
helicopters! It’s a pity that this scene was spoilt by the use of sock film
footage of F-BNKZ which was filmed at Portmeirion, when they should have filmed
more footage of the helicopter F-BOEH at MGM film studios at Elstree Borehamwood
than they did, and could have done.
Be seeing you
