A little harsh please – No wonder so many hesitate to post at all!

I usually find that people who try and slap people down on forums for any perceived transgression of the rules are usually clowns full of their own self importance so I just ignore them.

Ali

:p

Not on E-Bay!

Well, it is not on e-bay, the item was removed for violating one of the rules, not sure which one and now cannot check the item. 🙁

Hi Folks

Thanks for the introduction into the forum – I post on forums in several places and am very careful to not spin things or throw my 2 bits worth in just to make a post. I like to contribute to a thread rather than make it a distraction.

This means that I will not initate a slap at anyone and I expect the same treatment in return – simple respect for us all. However if someone swings first – then it will be no holds barred and I can take care of myself quite well.

Newforest – no personal offence taken – maybe next time just point to the previous link and forget the monitoring role. Just as a side note – my grandfather came from Scotland and my Dad trained in Kinloss during the war (WWII). He had a very fond memory of Kinloss as he arrived the day after one aircraft had landed on top of another aircraft. He returned to what was left of the old field in 1994 and hired a taxi to go out and look – his driver was a young lady who learned to drive on the old runways so knew exactly where he wanted to go. He went on from there to 51 Squadron where he was Captain on a Halifax III and completed his tour the summer of 1944.

I have been a Canadian AME for over 35 years and have worked on way too many aircraft to list – I also have about 3000 hours of left seat time – mostly in the Canadian Arctic in Bristol Freighter’s, Dc3’s and 4’s, Single Otters, Beavers, Twin Otter’s, F27’s, Curtis C46’s etc….. I have worked accross North America – spent time in South America, Norway, France, Portugal, and almost 4 years in Australia. Been there – done that – got the tee shirt – wore out the tee shirt!!!

Currently I am a Maintenance Instructor for a smallish airline on the West Coast of Canada and spend much of my day pushing pixels around a computer screen developing training manuals from scratch.

Once again – thanks for the warm welcome!

As in Druine Truculent 🙂

welcome to the funhouse!

Bang on old chap……… Bloody Germans !!!

Get your facts right before opening the jar of xenophobia! :p I am from Scotland and note that the first word of my post was PLEASE. No hard feelings Truculent.

“Is this the right room for the argument?”

Seems so.

Deep breath, cut some slack, and quit the racism.

Ah, better now. 😀

Better a new member (welcome BTW) and a double post (which can be merged) than not-posting something exciting that might be missed.

After all seeing a big pair of Bristols back in action is always popular. (Hep hem.)

T. AME, what’s you area of interest? Always keen to see wrench turners here.

WTF

I did a quick look for a similar post and I must have missed it

– If I have OFFENDED someone then SO SORRY!!!!!

On this side of the pond a double posting is not usually considered a major offence — So Get Stuffed Mate!!!!

Bang on old chap……… Bloody Germans !!!

A little harsh please – No wonder so many hesitate to post at all!

Oh dear.
Summons up courage for very first post, and then …………..SQUASH!
