Can I make a change to my number three?
Most important gift. An immediate and massive pay rise to all the staff working in radiography at Addenbrookes Hospital Cambridge. Because they’ve just given us mum back. 🙂

3) I’ll have to think about that one!
Thought about it – I’d give a sizeable chunk (say, that straggling £6m) to various animal charities, plus a good donation to Sally B, The Grace Spitfire, Museum of Flight at East Fortune, ARCo to get the Blenheim back in the air, and a few others!

If I won the Euro Millions, I’d live my life as one big holiday. Jack in the job (obviously), give up my education and jet off anywhere and everywhere – to a different continent each week.
I’d travel in style and if I didn’t purchase my own aircraft to get me there, I’d probably have to settle for second best and travel First Class.

A Huey gunship…. with speakers so I can re-enact Apocalypse Now at airshows 😀
LOL 😀 hahaha Nice one!
1. Big house with a private air strip
2. A plane of some sort, most likely a warbird, Hawker Sea Fury 😎
3. I would donate a huge chunk of money to Royal Navy Historic Flight to keep their aircraft flying and also the Sally B

First purchase – a house in Brugge (not a holiday home but a place to live all the time).
Biggest self indulgence – have a big holiday flying off to visit countries I would love to see but can’t afford to visit.
Most important gift – buy something really good for my Mum

Or you could do what Jeremy Clarkson did (did meaning didnt but phrased that way) a few years ago on his ‘Extreme Machines’ programme, go out to the Nevada desert buy a couple of F-15s, a B52, A couple of Hornets and Play Bomb West Thurrock. Just a thought….

1. Three sports/street cars. One for myself, one for my parents, one for my grandparents.
2. A new house or something for parents, I suppose.
3. No idea. DEFINITELY something involving commercial aviation, though.

First I would go into the bank, and wave the cheque under the manager’s nose and tell him exactly what I think of his bank, then take the cheque and open an account somewhere else!
1. pay off mortgage and rest of the debts I seem to have accumulated.
2. learn to drive, then learn to fly
3. probably pay off my boyfriends debts, then his mum’s, make sure she has all the work done on her house that they are talking about, then take me, him, his mum and the kids on a nice long holiday somewhere warm.
note….yes I do mean the mother in law, over the past 3 years she has been more of a mum to me than mine has
By: Arabella-Cox - 19th July 2005 at 12:52
Okay, time for a serious answer I guess.
1 – Clear the mortgages; mine, Julie’s, my parents, her parents.
2 – I’ll allow myself two, if I may be so bold. A Caterham Seven, and a de Havilland Chipmunk.
3 – The gift would be a holiday to the Caribbean for the people who matter to me (some are on here) to witness mine and Julie’s wedding. (and no Snapper – you are NOT photographing her ass on the wedding night…)

1. DH Mosquito.
2. GT40.

By: andrewman - 19th July 2005 at 12:26

3 – £10 million to charity

Good call, I like your style.
Perhaps we ought to rename this thread “Most amusing ways of panning someone who thoroughly deserves it.”
Any advance on strafing? Do I see a ‘being buried alive in a vat full of very hungry red ants’ at the back there…?
I’ve always imagined clubbing certain people to death with a claw hammer might be quite satisfying.
Or as I said to someone the other day, “if you don’t shut up history will remember me as the Dunstable axe murderer!!”
Later

Steve – combine both, and re-enact your favourite moment in Empire of the Sun (albeit with a Spit) – and live ordnance 😉

Yup.
It’s the only thing I can think of right now that would be a) my first big money purchase, b) a huge self-indulgence (‘cos believe me, I’d get a LOT of satisfaction from it), and c) removal of the particular bit of lowlife from the foodchain would be a rather important gift.
The other option would be a two-seat Spitfire of course, but that would cost a bit more than a gangland hit I would imagine. 😀
