    Newquay Airport !right now cutting down trees around me again and lopping off 2m………..nothings grown 2m, why can’t you leave them alone. Why are you wasting money on something you don’t need to do. The CAA(SRG) is not interested, I’ve asked them, grrrrrrrr.

    Also, the cockpit on the Dornier is so far forward and low, you cannot see the trailing edge of the wing.

    I’ve just put this on my books-to-look-out-for list. I was not aware that he had written anything other than Jonathan……..

    Was forced to read …..Livingston Seagull at school, by the time I got chapter 3, was forced to put it down! Great little book.

    My cat alerting me to a CCTV monitor in the next room frazzleing itself to death, by racing in and out of the room like a demented idiot, then finally hiding behind me, staring at the doorway. Curious, I wonder into the lounge to find a monitor ‘glowing’ with its new wrinkley plastic casing.

    Could have got expensive!

    cheers ‘Nimrod’

    ‘Spitfire the history’ (completely destroyed one copy through wear and tear) ‘Gifts of war’ ‘Battle of Britain then and now’ (in fact any then and now) all of the ‘at war’ series by Ian Allen, anything with Andy Saunders stamped on it (except ‘The dungeons of Key Publishing’ ISBN 91223167121(!) not good if I’m honest) and agree with ‘the hardest day’:)

    I was surprised at the German woman survivor say ‘they came in their planes and shot at us’………….and Shaw ‘…it [the raid]didn’t really accomplish much at all’

    She told me she married a fighter pilot who was killed early in the war, she then married a bomber pilot who was killed mid-war, then hooked up with Gibson shortly before the forming of 617. A real character.:)
