When was it confirmed Halstead was involved?

It was confirmed when I paid £1 to Companies House and downloaded a list of the directors, all one of them (M Halstead) and the two shareholders (M Halstead’s one of them).

*cough cough*

haven’t been here before with start-up airlines at Oxford with a varsity tagline using a Jetstream?

Nonsense, in fact I can see a marginal rise in overall manpower after the next election.

You won’t see any increase in defence spending if the Conservatives win. We are in a world economic recession and the Tories have a history of cutting expenditure to pay for tax cuts. The recent release by the PRO of cabinet papers from the Thatcher years demonstrates that.

Plus and a very big PLUS here remember that the last real war we were involved in prior to the GW madnesses was the results of defence cuts by Thatcher. The Falklands conflict, remember it. Not replacing the Endurance and talks with the Australians about selling them one of the Invincible class carriers as well as talks with Chile about flogging them naval hardware.

The current government are bad but the next lot won’t be any better.

I only ever called the Police twice since I lived out in the country, their reaction time on both occasions was about 55 minutes. After being lectured that swinging a pick-axe handle at 3 guys whilst protecting myself and my property was illegal, I never bothered them after that.:rolleyes:

And who remembers the IAT at Greenham Common that was ‘protected’ by military personnel carrying…. pick axe handles?

I think that was the year that a Landrover of them wrote off the Sea Vixen by driving into it in the middle of the night.

I think G-ALDG was used as a cabin trainer probably by British Caledonian. The Britannia sat down near the end of the runway and was easily seen as you turned fo take off if you were sitting on the correct side oif the aircraft.

The Hermes fuselage was over by the BUA/BCAL hangars (at least it was in July 1970 when I first saw it).
