I equally wondered how long it would take before someone opened a new one.
Please, leave it alone for now; the last thread was heading downwards rapidly – I had no choice but to pull it.

Could you not moderate the posts you didn’t like?.
This thread is/was an emotive subject and is not likely to go away.
How will we know the outcome Monday?
Why don’t the moderators moderate? we’ve seen it done well in the past, what’s changed? Pulling this thread was not the answer.

When somebody stumbles in from the pub tonight and reads this thread…
…I hope they donโt think you have some Hornets stored in your shed behind your Spitfire and next to your Canberra cockpit! :diablo:

I’ll be honest and say they are safe for the next 15 years as they have never shown natural aggression towards me. However, the cat has to be separated from them now and then as she chases them around the garden.
I found some decapitated bees and a wasp near the nest this evening and it looks like they have hunted down all the spiders in the shed although it looks as though they didn’t quite get it all their own way.
By the way, they hunt all night as well with the odd flight around the bedroom at 3 oclock in the morning in the pitch black. They buzz very loud when they’re in the same room and I become very focused, very quickly indeed!:eek:
They seem to move to a new nest site every year and always within 50ft of my home. Once I know where they set up I usually avoid disturbing them for the rest of the year.
By the way, theres no lock on that shed………it’s well guarded.

Curtiss JN-4 Jenny on a calm summers evening in America.
Tail chasing in Texans or Trojans out in Florida
Spitfire over Kent countryside
Hunter (done it once already) but would like to fly it myself.
Thruster microlight (done it several times at Davidstow and with my own weightshift) real seat of your pants flying!
RAF Sea King (over 250 flights, only 25 minutes in the right seat of which 10 mins stick time) a most gentlemanly way to fly…….miss the old girl.
not all strictly GA
………….sent a PM, your box is full…………..
………….sent a PM, your box is full…………..
Each slide replaced, a couple of hours per door. They probably will only replace a couple at the front doors, number 1 left and right to fly it back with no passengers on board.
It doesn’t take that long to change a slide…the paperwork will take longer than the actual replacement
thanks for that

CGI just gets better and better

Nice to hear at least one MR2 Nimrod is to be kept and it will be the first. Perhaps we could get one down here at Mawgan as it as linked to the Nimrod as ever Kinloss was/is….and I know a man with a trailer !!
We had one ear marked for a museum at St Mawgan that I was putting together in 91/92 it was XV237. The museum idea was dropped with change of C.O. the Nimrod was scrapped along with others (Victor, Buccaneer, Wessex, Sea King, Harrier…etc) ………one of the reasons I started my little museum round the corner a few years later.
The Victor was nearly saved at the eleventh hour, but I had no room for it at the time and she too was scrapped. Broke my heart watching these aeroplanes destroyed, only the Harrier made it out alive.
However, I’m having another go at it as we speak with Newquay Airport (RAF St Mawgan) to resurrect the museum idea. If we get a green light, I’ll have another go at getting a Nimrod back where she belongs.
If it happens “gonna need a bigger boat!” [sic trailer]
