And thats why the old guy wasn't allowed in the cockpit of the Spitfire. Who knows what could happen? He could sue, thats what could happen!

Awww....you forget; red sky at night, sheep-shaggers delight!

The one, the only Wing Cmdr. Ken Wallis. In case you missed it this guy is ninety-five years old!

Engine and running gear from a 2-litre Alfa Romeo of some sort. Space frame from what he had lying around the workshop. Front wheel drive of course. To engage jet power simply drive up to Smeatharpe aerodrome on a run-what-you-brung day, put it in neutral and light 'er up. 'Ere we go; it's first run out at the back of an industrial estate a while ago. Don't have the sound up too much!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cjU_I94gh9A

Ah yes, but you see my m8 always does a proper risk assessment before setting off. It's called "mirror, signal, manoeuvre."

My mates jet car ( I kid you not! ) thats fully road legal, taxed, mot'd. I'll take some decent pictures and write it up in the spring when he gets it out again. And yes, thats an engine out of a Gloster Meteor!

To get a visa, Jedi? Pretty easy for a Swede I would imagine. You sure you don't mean a work permit?

I think the perspex in the Manston Spit and it's joke radiation hazard signs are to protect against thieving bastards equiped with screwdrivers.

Tonar leading 'em home

If the shitty part was in his maths, he probably would've ended up nukin' Kiev, and bailin' out over Moscow? No doubt he was very good at big sums but as a teacher he was a couple of kilos short of a megaton.

So what happens to the pilot of the fighter after he's released and does his thing? Logically the fighters will need to be released after the B36 enters Soviet airspace, hopefully shoot down a few Migs, allowing the bomber a run on target? When the F84 runs outta gas it's going to be a long walk home. My last Maths teacher (1978) was an ex-RAF V-bomber navigator. After they'd delivered "Blue Danube" they knew they didn't have enough juice to get back to the UK. He'd calculated they would have to bail over western Ukraine. Remember, if it all went to plan they would have just nuked Moscow so their reception from the locals might have been a er, warm one! To this end they really were equiped with a combined Bible and Russian phrase book and a few gold sovereigns in their survival kit. They were'nt issued with firearms though. Oh yeah, he was a shit maths teacher too.

Just had to thank Sweper and FT for hosting tonights Coop's. A great turn-out and great to see Smash, Asus and Tonar tonight too! Jim would have been proud. Salute!

Sorry PropNut, lol. I'm sure an owner opinion would be very interesting and valuable. In my clumsy way I was trying to point out this guy will post to UK only.

I'm happy with my MSFFB 2 and I'm skint too but this must be worth watching. Only two days to go; http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/150729566614?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2648

You wanna try being a "passenger" in one for a long flight and you might change your mind Jedi! This is where I live!

Oooh-er Fenrir, where do you start! For a fave oldie 'ow about some Toots and the Maytels? Now I've always had a soft spot for Jefferson Airplane but I assumed they became rich, famous, turned themselves into Jefferson Starship, produced the abomination of a tune that goes "we built this city on rock and roll" and generally sold out. Very recently I've discovered this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cj3W9rt3GTE

If you check out the gallery or album sections you'll find 'em in there. Worth looking at too! Anyone want to try and name them or even when and where?

Colin, you know with Win7 and a graphics card update your system will run anything? The graphics card dosen't have to be supa-spangly either. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Gainward-GTX-460-Golden-Sample-/130621651301?pt=UK_Computing_Computer_Components_Graphics_Video_TV_Cards_TW&hash=item1e69a83965 As is the way with these things it's all going vertical and gravity is doing it's bit.

Just about to lay the table. Never been able to face 1/4 ton of dead bird and veg before 6p.m. Hope your all having a great one. @Todd, lovely mate, just right

Oh yeah! Cheers Kev. This is the match for the B29 landing vid posted by Blubear. Now you know how it got the ripples in the fuselage!

, Yep, you're right. I have foolishly just read the blog JP posted not researched the facts. The blog says murder and you and I both know thats not how our criminal justice system works in the case of murder. But this isn't murder as defined by our criminal justice system is it? If you remove the bits about "illegal immigrant, benefit fraud, muslim," etc. that are put in to get our juices flowing but just consider what the case rests on then the facts are; Man carries out brutal killing. Man charged with murder. Trial judge mis-directs jury and man wrongly convicted. Man given leave to appeal. Appeal allowed on grounds that trial judge mis-directed jury. Man convicted of manslaughter on grounds of diminished responsibility - he's a nutter! Those are the facts. Man has received due process and has been convicted. Important to cut the BS outta this stuff and remember that people of all persuasions and backgrounds are capable of doing terrible things. Wonder what this POS would have been charged with if he hadn't topped himself too? http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/3988181/Sacked-cop-kills-his-wife-and-child.html

How do you embed youtube vids here? I've forgotten, Doh!
