You could feature between- level scenes where Stringfellow Hawke struggled to come to terms with his brother St John's disappearance. You could have high-speed flying sequences where the chopper cut a swathe through hordes of enemy aircraft. You could have a great intro with Airwolf flying out of a mesa. No. Wj got a side-scrolling plod 'em up which bore no relation to the TV show. —————————————————————————————————p2/5q— V Berlin 471 B Boozler 458 lOT0OR COLD0OR0WET0OR0WHAT? p180 ITV Letters Compies Our charts Other charts

For a time Murray actually thought hr looked like Stringfellow Hawke, and spent several years trying to obtain a girlfriend on this basis. He went on to styli himself as some sort of third Blues Brother, and0was followed around by small children and idiots who thought he was cool.0Wr last heard he had become a policeman.
