We are a very tolerant society in general – we let almost anybody in, feed them, house them, educate them and some repay us by spreading messages of hate against the west – sorry but enough is enough. We must introduce far stricter controls on who we let into the UK – the fanatics who incite this hatred are not invisible and deport those already here. Abu Hamza is one such fanatic who, because of our tolerance and freedoms is allowed to preach a message inciting a tiny minority to try and destroy those freedoms.

final batch

just a few pics from the FFF rally

Flew into Samos a few years ago on a Monarch 757 – firm landing with lots of reverse / braking. Take off was open up the engines, hold on the brakes until full power reached then accelerate like a scolded cat down a shortish runway (6000ft)

If the only people the rally can attract in any numbers are the ‘enthusiasts / photographers / number crunchers’ then it and the PFA need to have a serious rethink as to which direction the rally (and the organisation) are going.

Trinny,

I (and others) object to being called a grubby spotter (enthusiast is a less offensive term)- if as you said enthusiasts outnumbered the pilots 5 : 1 then the balance sheet would be much, much worse without them and also indicates that the PFA message is still not getting across. Perhaps people were put off by the last one and decided not to bother along with a dodgy wx forecast (sunday was good but too late by then)
Could have done with better signs as well – first sign was just off the M4 then nothing at all on the A419.

Still think that £20 / per person is a bit steep for what is essentially a ‘fly-in’

scorpions are almost indestructable according to a wildlife prog on the beeb last night.
They froze one solid and it survived after thawing, exposed it to a large does of radiation it survived.

Ants have 5 noses
