I'm reading Flight 714 to Sydney, and there's a bit where Captain Haddock is tying up a villain's henchman and he says "Sorry to tie you up like this, mate, but a sailor loves making knots, you know."

You can imagine where my mind went. Especially since Tintin is also quite interested in the subject of knots, both the tying of and the escaping from.

ETA: And Allan, speaking to Haddock, refers to Tintin as "your little choirboy." This just gets better and better.

In English, it's just Flight 714 - maybe "to Sydney" was too prosaic for English-speaking people!

I was sad when it turned out this comic wasn't set in Australia after all!
