Ice Pilots - The Complete Series Two

Available to order now from deltamusic.co.uk and amazon.co.uk



Delta brings you Ice Pilots Series 2 to DVD.
This boxset includes all 13 episodes on 4 discs.


Ice Pilots NWT is a real-life docu-series that follows the daily challenges at an extraordinary airline in the Canadian North. Crews at Yellowknife-based Buffalo Airways fly WWII-era propeller planes to remote Arctic outposts. Rookie pilots learn the hard way as they face bone-chilling temperatures, blizzards and mechanical breakdowns. It’s an impossible job in a merciless place.

New recruits come to slog it out on the ramp in -30˚C weather to earn a chance to fly these antique planes that most airlines scrapped long ago: classics like the Douglas DC-3 and DC-4 and the Curtiss C-46 Commando – the very planes that once ferried troops and supplies in WWII. Few newbies make it. As they compete to rise up the ranks, they cope with ice storms, forest fires, treacherous landings and legendary owner “Buffalo” Joe McBryan’s famous temper.

Buffalo Airways is literally a lifeline to the North. As Joe’s son Mikey McBryan puts it: “You can’t separate the North from flying. It’s the same thing.” Without Buffalo Airways, food and supplies wouldn’t reach the many northern communities cut off from the rest of the world during the long, harsh winter. Ice Pilots NWT gives viewers a rare and exciting look at the most exciting flying “north of 60”.

Johnny Cash - Song By Song

Available to order now from deltamusic.co.uk and amazon.co.uk



Exploring the stories behind six of Johnny Cash's best-loved hits: I Walk The Line, Ring Of Fire, Jackson, A Boy Named Sue, Sunday Morning Comedown and Hurt. With contributions by June Carter Cash, Billy Bob Thornton, Chris Isaak, George Jones and more.

In Johnny Cash, Song By Song, each episode sets the cultural landscape scene and unravels and reveals the contradictions of this complicated man through the lens of a song. Each song/story provides a calibrated insight into the unparalleled drama of a life fully lived and a career fully exploited; resilience, fortitude, love, compassion, rebellion and soul-searching.
Cash spoke for the condemned and his redeemer, the downtrodden coal miner, the hopeless romantic, the junkie and the righteous man.
He bucked the system and created his signature persona – the Man in Black. The statement was loud and strong: Johnny Cash plays by his own rules.“How well I have learned that there is no fence to sit on between heaven and hell. There is
a deep, wide gulf, a chasm, and in that chasm is no place for any man” Do the songs reflect Cash’s resolve for justice, his human failings, his passion, his grit and his search for greater meaning? Why have they surpassed the industry standards, held up and stood the test of time? Was his conflict an inner struggle or a struggle with the industry or a bit of both?
