For those interested in Rescue Helicopters and the like, One HD has been running a series called Megafactories and this week they're looking at the Agusta factory in Italy and specifically how the AW139 is built from beginning to end, not sure of their schedule but I'd say it will be repeated a couple more times this week?
Very interesting to see these choppers built, especially how many different variations of the aircraft there are and the differences between them; the aircraft destined for VIP passenger transport are vastly different to say the rescue or police helicopter versions for example.

P.S. Last week's Megafactories was on the Learjet factory in Kansas USA [drool]
