just taken from iwm web site... P-38 Lightning Glacier Girl’s mission is postponed : P-51 Mustang Miss Velma to complete the journey alone It is with huge regret that The Fighter Collection and Imperial War Museum Duxford announce that Glacier Girl is unable to continue her journey to the UK to complete her mission and star in the forthcoming Flying Legends Air Show. The aircraft developed a serious mechanical problem, leaving her grounded at Goose Bay.

I personnaly would like to get in to the airfield as soon as possible. This is aimed at Glenn, BG and Mick, what time do you think you may be ready / had thought leaving the hotel for the show? (after rising from a drunken stuper

OK chaps, its nearly here...time to firm up a meeting point. I will be meeting Doubletap, BG and Painless at the Red Lion on Saturday morning. Where and at what time should the other dogz attending meet at the Airfield? Any offers

I have added a link in the first post of this thread to the BBC weather service for the area, please now all cross the following.... Fingers, Toes, Wifes Fingers and toes, kids fingers and toes, assorted pets (more limbs the better) Its also Here

its all getting too much...

if i replace the cpu (as Quazi has suggested I could and could) does this cause any licence complications with microshaft? having a dell i do not have a full blown xp cd, so would not like to attempt a re-format

many thanks for the continued support guys. I am in dialogue with Quazi who is suggesting a few things as well. I will keep you all posted as to what i decide to do. S! frior

having looked at that link dave posted, i am now not sure that it may have extra connections. they are like those in the picture but have a black cover over them, i took a couple of pics tonight so i will try and post them up to see if they are useable. many thanks for the advice guys. @delta7 - sorry, i dont understand what you mean about "you should try to put the graphics card on its own power rail" if this all fails my plan (shhhhhh dont tell the wife yet..) is to build my own gaming rig, one element a month to spread the cost. need to finsh building the pond first to keep her happy.

I am afraid that it is all doom and gloom in the frior's house

its that x-wing pilot that i've got, I've had a look and i still have it i amended it to have the sun visor down.

i think i have a star wars pilot skin somewhere (if i did not delete it pre 1946 install

if psycho IS comming on saturday, he has the little problem of a ticket. he could leave it to get one on the door (just in case he doent make it) or I purchase another one and Glenn sends him his I can then give Glenn his ticket on the day?

Hi Roger, Me for one and I guess BG, Doubletap and Painless (as we are all at the hotel)

if sged has got a blow up girlfirend and it keeps going down on him.. it must be the luxury model

i am doing a correspondance course on tv presenting, is that any good?

my machine is a dell dimension 4500 processor is intel p4 2.53ghz with 1gb memory (2 x 512) which is maximum. any pointers/advice welcome. p.s budget is very tight (unless i re-direct the funds i have earmarked for an x52) if i drop the x52 (which i am not that keen to do) i could go to £90 but only if i am going to get a BIG difference, otherwise i am looking at about 60-70 absolute max. if nothing is in my range i would rather save the money in pot for future use!

i am thinking of replaceing my nvidia geforce fx5200 128mb for a few rungs up the ladder. i have seen a geforce fx6200 256mb for about £35, is this a step worth taking to squeeze a bit more out of my old girl?

yep Artie, heres the link http://duxford.iwm.org.uk/server/show/conEvent.1303

on a normal uk insurance policy the "excess" is the amount you commit to pay should you have an accident. some policys are cheaper if you have a higher excess. i think it is to save the hire company having to go through their insurance because anything less than £500 you would have to pay, it would only be for values over that would the insurance company get involved. the route from heathrow to duxford is quite easy as far as roads, but it would mean you driving on the London Orbital or M25. Thinking of it as a clock, you get on at about the 9 and drive clockwise to about the 1 and then change to another motorway (freeway) to go towards duxford (M11). the m25 has between 3 and 5 lanes. undertaking is not permitted (although it does happen sometimes) note: the m25 is one of our most congested/busy motorways for route planner sites try www.theaa.co.uk or www.greenflag.co.uk

Psycho, have you looked into the logistics of getting from London to Duxford at all? How do you plan to travel by Car or Train?

i dont think the plan was to go again on sunday, although I know painless has tickets for both days and we all know what happens to plans..........
