The BBc link goes on about his Oscars and older movies but I'm sure many of us here will always remember him as Dominic the wise cracking co-pilot of Airwolf.
He was my rock, the guy in the back that pulled all the levers that let me fanny about in me chopper whilst my eyes remained firmly closed. RIP big Ern.

Well, as I was drunk most of the Eighties, I've had to fill in the blanks with *cough* Wikipedia. Basically the CIA stole my art collection and refused to give it back until I liberated their stolen helicopter, and I love me watercolours me. They were halcyon days, what with Knightrider and Streethawk, we were keeping the streets and skies safe for the likes of those chancers in the A-Team to nonce about creating the headlines.

Under-appreciated in the main. Â Brilliant if wholly unrealistic rolling meteor scene a highlight.

I loved that film. My Dad took me to see it at the cinema (showing my age here). I remember thinking that the robot V.I.N.CENT was simply the best thing ever. Please note that Star Wars had completely passed me by.
I don't think I've ever heard that song past the opening riff. I think it'd sound a little odd if I did, like when you hear the full version songs you only know from being used in adverts or theme tunes and the additional parts seem flimsily stretched out.
I remember Jon Lord was on Tommy Vance's Raaawk Show one Friday a billion years ago and he gave Tommy his MiniMoog, which he had used to write Smoke on the Water in seventy whatever, for some auction for charity that was on the show. It went for about twenty quid. Because Vance, the knob, never bothered to explain in the slightest to anybody what the hell a MiniMoog was. It was years before I found out. Could have been a notepad or something for all I knew.
