well Swep if we can get the hotel rooms sorted, we should be able to book a flight, wanna see if we can get the same one?

Perfect for narcissistic pilots!

I'll be flying the P40M, and I'm up for a slot on the spittie scramble. Thanks for organising this little show. S!

Mayhem this is the thread for the Dogsford flying show hosted by Friar, in which you are more than welcome to join.

Wow, are there any meetings you cannot arrange JP? Impressive.

Good to hear you are ok, take it easy for a coupe of days.

Anyone else loathe camping?

Friday and Saturday, Found cheap flights into stansted.

JensenPark for the win!

Oh my, now thats a fair bit of info there.

I agree, Cambridge sounds a lot better than paying through the nose for the sake of a marginal increase in proximity.

Grattis i efterskott Swep, Don't get overly used to the warmth, its bloody cold back home now.

It's called profiteering. They know there's an event on, they want to cash in. Traditional British hotel trade. Whats the rush? The Red Lion is still there. Treat the Holiday Inn as a flop house of last resort. From my perspective, as the only wage earner in my house-hold; add on the price of entry to the show to the Holiday Inn's attempt at extortion and for the same money I could fly to Toronto and spend the weekend digging Trout ponds with BG. Edit; Actually, the flophouse of last resort is the Red Lion carpark The quite maddening thing is, those are the regular prices and not the event ones. Quite strange really. I guess we have to keep waiting for the Red Lion to report in.

145£? That is just insane! We are talking about a holiday inn in a little town in cambridge. Why would they be charging such an inordinate amount of money?

I'm going to check with my buddy if he wants to split a room, but booking a twin some time this week. There are very cheaps flights from copenhagen to stansted, so I should be able to go. Anyone know if the holiday inn express has a cancellation fee, If it comes up earlier in the year I can't go?

Welcome back!

I'd say it is fake, only a slim possibility of him having the hay pressed around him. His extremities would be crushed in the baling process surely. Funny though.

Correct, the CBU-25 was the replacement of the CBU-14, according to my notes. due to the -14's high failure rate. However, cluster bombs up until the 2000's had failure rates between 30-70%. Mostly due to the mass-produced natures of the submunitions, the inherent flaws of the designs and less focus on the consequences of their use. The piezoelectric fuzes were quite unreliable, along with the problems involved with deployment from the main canister. Damned effective piece of kit though. If you want a large company to regiment sized force neatly destroyed, the CBUs are the way forward. I won't post my dissertation on the subject, promise.

Add the CBU-24, the precursor to modern cluster bombs. carries over 665 BLU 26 bomblets. Carried by the A-1J

What an a-hole. He's just going to get himself or someone else killed. People like this shouldn't be allowed to drive.

Happy Birthday!

Same here, I'm particularly fond of my right one however. If I am going to sacrifice lefty, I better get to keep the airplane.
