    I'm from London and, inspired by Les, spent 3 months camping and exploring central and eastern Australia. Thanks LES.

    When the Southern Cross took off from the mud flats, it flew to Derby in NWWA where my father happened to be while traveling from the Kimberley to Central West WA to continue drilling for water for the farms. He was a keen photographer and photo'd the Southern Cross in Derby with the United Kingdom rego no. and the G painted on the fuselage. The plane flew back to Sydney where it was registered under Australian Rego No. and the VH letters which it still has to this day in the display hanger at Brisbane airport.
    I have that photo in my collection and is my connection to the "Coffee Royal" story.

    Thanks ABC for uploading this, I remember watching series 1 & 2 here in the UK in the late 80s, early 90s but I don't think we got series 3. You can see the technological advances from series 2 1990 to series 3 1996 or 1997? Sat phones, better hf radios. True legend Les Hiddins, not fake like Bear Grylls etc. The nearest we have is Ray Mears who met Les in one of his shows in the 2000s. Anyway I'll be watching all this season 3. Fantastic. BTW how come Les voice isn't as gravelly, did he smoke hundreds of cigs back in the 80s 🤣

      There was a 6 year gap between seasons 2 and 3 while there was only 2 years between seasons 1 and 2 and they were both awesome. Definitely could have had another season around 1993

    Great story of survival but at huge cost. The loss of the 2 rescuers changed the rules of aviation that ended up saving Many lives in the future and is saving lives to this day.

    @GreencampRhodie 2 года назад +3

    Wise words.
    When flying abroad, it amazes me how little other passengers are prepared - lack of basic survival knowledge, lack of basic survival equipment (including on their person), & poor clothing choices (including footwear). Majority of "civilised" humans are too dumb.

    I see Bush Tucker man was wearing Birkenstock boots long before they because international popular. Here my family sits in North Western BC, Dec 21/2022 all owning a pair of Brown leather Birkenstock books exactly like Bush Tucker man is wearing in this series filmed 30 years ago.

    Seasons 1 and 2 are terrific. The biggest mistake of the series was changing from simple adventuring to a historic retelling of events in season 3. Les Hiddins is a legend

    UM, EXCUSE ME but didnt you say, They couldn't take off AND they had NO FUEL, Like SERIOUSLY, if they had no fuel, of course they couldn't take off, regardless of being bogged or not.

    • @Peters8749
      @Peters8749 2 года назад +1

      Obviously when the search party found them they dropped fuel and food to them and when the mudflats tried out they can take off again.
