Don’t you dare!!:diablo:

Bird song echoing in the rafters of an old hangar…..

The 12 gauge taking out aforesaid mentioned bird……….

Military aviation

The Tannoy echoing across the station 0810 Monday morning

“This..is a test..of the public address system..from Air Traffic Control.. there will now be a test of the station crash alarm………………!!”

These tests were carried out by the guardroom, ATC and Operations and we would get to hear air raid sirens, all clear, crash alarms,etc. If you happened to be in a hangar when this was going on with all the doors open, it sounded fabulous.

At Yeovilton last week watching Pagen with the reserve Gannet was like watching Gollum and a certain ring:rolleyes:

Is there a shelf life on them?

Will there be a day when engines will not be started due to a lack of carts?

Any one convicted and sentenced to more than say, thirty years or, to whole life, should have, in their cell, a small – 18 inches by 12 inches, glass doored wall safe. In the locked safe, floodlit from within, should be a bottle of water – changed at suitable intervals – and a lethal pill.

The key to the safe should be in the possession of the convict and available for personal use at any time.

It wouldn’t work, the inmate, with hours to contemplate his fate would soon figure out that this pill was a weapon he could use against another inmate, warden, or pass on to a family member when they visit for use in another murder. It would be easy to substitute the pill with say a smartie, m&m, viagra etc then spirit said lethal pill away.

What you could do however, is wire the door lock to the mains, so when scroat decides to remove pill…………….:D

I was briefly on HMS Exeter (Type 42) whilst serving down south, does she survive?
