Imagine the disappointment when I went to school and learned the Romans didn't actually have a time travelling flying machine.

I think about this show often. Great concept, I did find the first episode online once and felt that it was probably one of those shows that doesn’t hold up when you’re an adult.

Flippin' loved this show as an 11 year old.

Watched it a few years back. You're correct, it doesn't hold up.

I remember all the weird shaped and coloured buttons. It could turn invisible? Maybe was indestructible too?

Fun fact: the title is Latin for 'eagle'

One of them looks like my brother aged 12. What is this show?

It was on in the 90's. Two boys find an old Roman flying machine. At some point they become friends with their elderly neighbour who herself sees the ghost (or has an imaginary friend that is a ) of a Native American chief.

I don't remember much more about it other than that. Oh and the fact that it had a baller theme-tune that totally hit the spot after a hard day in year 2.

Never heard of this but had to look up that theme tune.
