Mick The only currently airworthy MkII is the BBMF example IIRC. There are now three MkI's though, which is jolly nice!

Only just seen this! I'd love to if I can get the day off (shouldn't be a problem).

Just read that he's been killed in a takeoff accident in a Bearcat. http://www.kwes.com/story/17335559/west-texas-pilot-killed-shortly-after-takeoff If you don't know his name, those of us that have attended warbird airshows over the years both sides of the pond, would probably have seen this guy fly. He would almost always be over to pilot for Flying Legends like many other US warbird pilots drawn to Duxford in July. He'd usually be found flying one of the 'cats, and is probably best associated with the Wildcat. Sad times.

I'm sorry, but this video personally offends me... Because I wish i'd thought of it first! hahaha, nice find

Fantastic ROX! I've been a stargazer since early childhood, long night walks in the dark Irish countryside with the FamilyBear started it all off. Keep it up mate, I look forward to seeing more pictures of the wonders above.

And back to aeroplanes... Wtf! http://www.liveleak....=fc6_1333070537 And wow! http://www.liveleak....=ca3_1333098616

I saw this on TV this weekend here in blighty and it was the first time in many years that I sat silenced by an advert. In fact it gave me shivers, I was watching with a friend at the time and we both just looked at each other and said 'wow'. Superbly produced: The blurb: "Jack Jennings is a Far East war veteran who received funding through BIG's Heroes Return programme. 93 year old Jack provides inspiration for a high profile TV campaign across the UK launching on prime time television on Sunday 4 March. http://www.biglotter...eroesreturn.htm"

Wow! Tremendous job Mick me ole cobber! Loving the detail and weathering, it's a cracker. Not sure if i'd ever have the patience for this!

Stop teasing Nick! Finish it and take some juicy pictures for us all to salivate over

Double ooops, so did I! Hopefully your respective days were more than adequate!

Welcome to the mad house!

I would have chosen the same! Hen and the Hob, two perfectly acceptable choices of beverage.

Lol, what is a Taco? Isn't it a type of bell...

I will certainly try it FT. Process of elimination etc Thanks for your suggestions old chap.

The one next to the router is, but the one for my PC is in a multi plug block - not a cabled extension, just one of those blocks that turns a single socket into three. Thing is, it's been like that since I started using them and this problem has only been occurring the last few weeks

Ok, well I have some news. I tried the long ethernet cable and guess what... It was perfect So it seems that one or both of my Netgear Powerline AV500 units is faulty. I bought them at Maplin less than 6 months ago, but not sure if i still have the receipt. The box says Netgear offer a 2 year warranty. Do you chaps have any suggestions where I go from here? I don't really want to spend another £80/90

And that is where i come in...

That, my friend, is a #win

Not really Crash. All i've tried so far tonight is swapping ethernet ports on the router. Going to grab a long cable from work tomorrow and try a direct connection rather than through PowerLine. I've attached an image showing a typical minute or so pinging google. As you can see, there is frequent packet loss or lag.

I just weed a little... Legends 2012 Trailer http://friends-of-tfc.blogspot.com/

HAHAHAAHAHA "Swedish men have long been misunderstood. Case in point: they are often stereotyped as cold, emotionally distant loners and inexplicably mistaken for Swiss guys."

Thanks for your help/suggestions guys! I just don't quite understand what has caused this issue, when as far as I can see, nothing has changed physically or virtually. I've not installed any new software, or hardware... I'll have another look tonight, grrrrr

@Rog, i'll certainly give this a try, but I don't think it's a problem with the broadband because it's only the PC that seems to be suffering. @Col, The cable is only a couple of months old, but it's certainly worth a try. Thanks guys.

Ok, I just tried something. I have a Mac and the PC next to each other, so I opened a browser on each and downloaded an 18Mb file from download.com on each machine, one after the other. The Mac gave a steady D/L rate of 450KBps throughout the download and the PC, although starting at a similar value, quickly declined to about 50Kbps. ARGHHHHH!!!
