Delayed

As you are no doubt aware Tom Cruise’s anticipated sequel “Top Gun, Maverick” was delayed for release in cinemas for one year from 2019 until summer 2020, but what a lot of people want to know is why ? 🎥🎬✈

 

Well what happened was, the actual filmmakers wanted extra time to work on a more eventful and dynamic set of flying sequences with more interesting characters, know anyone who fits that bill.🐎🐷

 

And what a coincidence during this time out, one of the filmmakers was due to get married so some of his mates thought it would be a good idea to organise a stag weekend away for their colleague. Following a liquid lunch the guys chose Cornwall as an ideal venue for its peace and normality.🎉🎊🍺🍺🍺🍷🍷🍷

 

Following a flight from San Diego where the new film is being made, to Newquay Airport, the filmmakers asked a taxi driver if he could recommend a quiet little village where sensibility should prevail. Sure enough the driver recommended and took these blokes to a little village not far from Sharp’s Brewery (how odd).🚕😜

 

Plus as part of the service the taxi driver took these guys to a very quirky B&B run by someone you are all familiar with, Trixie Trebillcock who always and as part of Cornish law, puts jam first then cream on the scones for her guests🏡😉

 

Eager to get themselves aquatinted with the locals, what better place to start than the village pub, have you ever seen a filmmaker who has not been trained in the art of drinking the yard of ale, not a pretty sight. 🙈🍺🍺🍺

 

Even though the purpose of the visit by these boys was the stag weekend, thoughts of the film were never far away. So with no time to lose these chaps started to ask some very probing questions of the locals about their flying abilities.✈️

 

One local drinker stepped forward and said he remembers his mother had an Airfix kit and some glue, another local said that when he came home late some nights his wife threw him flying out through the door until he sobered up.😱

 

Now with that the vicar had come into the pub to organise the quiz night, he also happens to be a keen amateur radio enthusiast.

Oh yes he is right into amateur radio and always carries such a device on himself so he can listen into the pilots at local airports etc.😇

 

Just as our intrepid stag party from across the pond were about to introduce themselves, the vicars radio burst into life, Hey Rev One, this is Hoof Rider requesting a flyby of the church hall, The Vicar, or Rev One responds, Negative Hoof Rider, the pattern is full, with that there is beer everywhere and the windows are vibrating, yep Hoof Rider carried out the flyby.🔥

 

The film makers were out of the pub eyes looking skywards at this incredible aircraft that had flown over the village, what really caught their eye was not only the pilot who resembled a horse, but the occupant of the navigators seat, a pig wearing Ray-Bans giving the bird.😁😎😎

 

Do you all remember these lines from the original film,

Charlie : Lieutenant, what were you doing there.

Goose : Communicating.

Maverick : Communicating, keeping up foreign relations, you know giving him the bird.

Goose : (Charlie looks a bit puzzled) so Goose says, you know the finger.

Charlie : Yes, I know the finger Goose.

Goose : ops I’m sorry, I hate it when it does that.😂

 

Once Hoof and Horace had parked up their Typhoon aircraft, the film makers could not believe their luck when a horse call sign ‘Hoof Rider’ and his Navigator a pig, call sign ‘Curly’ (think about his tail) walked quietly into the pub for a well earned drink and a full debrief with the film making stag party.🐎🐷🎉🍺

 

So there you have it, when the new movie is released later this year you will be able to inform everyone in the cinema why the delay was caused and to keep an eagle eye out for the crews🐎🐷 during the aerobatics. ✈️

 

 

Thank you so much for viewing my photos, I get so much pleasure taking them.
