  3. Sounds like you'll fit right in here mate.
  4. So rather than buying yet another wireless network card, I've gone for a powerline system. So far, so good! Hardwired all the way baby! If my ISP stays steady I may be up for some hosting.

  5. Thankfully that picture has been cropped, you wouldn't want to see what else was happening...
  6. I'll drink to that Toad! In a related matter, i've just found some video of the 'other' Skyraider incident. During their slot on the Sunday, the other French Skyraider (with a vast array of bombs etc under-slung) broke from the formation to do solo passes leaving the remaining pair to do aerobatics, as per Saturday's display. However, upon running in from the East he managed to get shockingly close to two Spitfire's that were on finals to land and had to take evasive action. He continued to circle over the village for the remainder of the display, and didn't take part in the Balbo at the end. Not a good weekend to be French and in a Skyraider, or perhaps not a good weekend for anyone else to be near French Skyraiders! Watch from about 1:50:
  7. Thanks Swep, some fine pictures there of one of the finest Mustangs ever. I am still sad at it's demise, but at least we have the memories!
  8. Yes, nice work JP! Thank you very much
  9. I would hazard a guess that all the fouled metal at the impact area was causing the control cables to snag and bind or something like that. He explains in the Meridian video that he considered belly landing in a field but quickly realised the pitch control was too far gone and prepared to depart. I think a pilot with lesser experience may not have faired so well. Fairly clear pictures of the collision damage to the P-51
