The new series has been quite good. The Manchester B737 was rather
poignant..

No, ceased some time ago. Though much of the content still appears on
Discovery Turbo. Air Crash Investigates is regularly on National Geographic
and a new series started a couple of weeks ago. The new episodes are
screened Monday nights at 9pm then repeated throught the week (look for New
in the title to distinguish them from previous series re-runs).

I was surprised, when I made one of my very rare forays to the TV
schedules, not to see mention of one of my favourite, though repetitive,
channels; Discovery Wings. Is it now no more?
