For instance an aquaintance of Hover fly's still refuses to speak to me on the grounds that I am Irish and
"his brave boys*" were fighting "my lot".
*Not that he was ever one of them.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
Getting back on thread. Because it is easter bank holiday, they are obviously not flying over us at the moment

we are quite often dive bombed by what we understand to be the red devils doing training at Sywell aerodrome

Sywell's resident team are The Blades. Pilots are ex military but flying as civilians in G registered aircraft. Saw them at one of the biennial displays a few years ago - at least as impressive as the Red Arrows and possibly more so. Same guys run another aviation business from Sywell involving flying laboratories, surveys and (it is alleged) some more hush hush stuff for HMG.

What a let down!!

There's one in taxi-able condition at Elvington (south-east of York)

Pretty sure there is one at Bruntingthorpe too which (cough) 'accidentally' took off briefly during a taxiing run!!

For the pretty plane fans amongst you

Too bad about the 'explosion in a paint factory' flag though.... :whistle:

Ladies and gentlemen. It seems there are certain people on this thread who are deterimined to try to get me to argue with them.

OH NO THEY'RE NOT!!

Well I had worked on the bloody things for 7 years by then.
And I had serviced and refuelled the thing before I went up so it was only fair :smile:

You got enough Nectar Points did you?? :laugh:

Me Me Me. The nearest I have ever been is the cockpit of a BAC111 many years ago when going on holiday as a young teenager, circa 1972.

The Cockpit of a couple of '757s in 1999, one with me sat in the jump seat for the landing at Heathrow (the view as we flew up the Thames was amazing!!), and on the second, I was again in the jumpset for the take off from Heathrow and the landing at Zurich!! Amazing!!

Does anyone have any popcorn? We can all sit and listen

You have finally come to your senses after I suggested it to you near the beginning of this thread!!

Can I suggest a few people to line up and then have a very low flying aircraft pass over into them?
And a black pilot would be good.

Like the entire team from 'Better Together??' :whistle:

I thought the Americans won all on they're own. With no help from anyone.

WOAH, WOAH there buddy!! If you are to believe what the Meeja and the BBC tell you, you'd have thought that a single Spitfire beat off the entire Third Reich and probably the Japs too!!

Give me a Hurricane ANY day, bah!!

I know someone who wouldn't vote Yes in September if he could because of the Irish (work that one out if you will).

[airplane] Do you like movies about gladiators? Have you ever been in a Turkish prison? etc etc [/airplane]

Joey, have you ever seen a grown man naked before??
