I read he played an RAF pilot in ‘A way to the Stars’…never heard of it…any good?

M

Yes, it was very good.
Not much flying but a story about a pub, an airfield and the different Yanks and Brits that flew from it.
A bit dated now but well worth a look.
Cheers

That’s what OW needs.
A H-P 0/400.
Well the Vimy looked good there.

James
thanks for the kind words about grey paint.
You’re right, the Drover is a bit special.
Thanks for posting.
Cheers
Andy.

PS. Do you still take your steam powered Ricoh to airshows?

Martin,
very nice.
anyone would think you might have a soft spot for that Ryan.
Well done.
Andy

Ladies, Gentelemen, please chill.

As already stated Frank.
I will, when I get an apology from the person in question for him calling me a liar.

He might even find that I’m willing as I stated to him the other night that I might go some way to make amends too.
So far the silence from the person in question is deafening.

Ask the other moderators.

I’ve already had an apology on this matter from Frank, I still await a second more important apology.

I’ve retained all correspondence from moderators and copied in relevant people.

Have you any involvement in this that’s relevant??

I wonder what could have been done with all the money HMG has poured into BMC, British Leyland, BL , Rover and what-ever else this lot has been called over the years.

Sadly I think the end is here.
It probably hasn’t been a really viable concern since the seventies (maybe even earlier).
The whole sorry story over thirty (plus) years has been one of Government meddling, weak management, poor labour relations, low productivity, Union problems, need I say more?
Britain at it’s incompetent best.

Very sad.

Hi, ive just booked some tickets to New York for the 24th May- 21 June. We plan to go in a generally anti clockwise direction around the US with a week and a half stop in the Phoenix area.

Anyone know of any Aviation places of interest in the Phoenix area, I know of the CAF wing there and shall visit that, and also in the following places;

New York,
Washington,
Nashville,
Memphis,
New Orleans,
Dallas,
San Fransisco,
Chicago,
Detroit,
Toronto,
Montreal,
Ottawa.

places close to City centres are preffered as the only time we shall rent a car is in Phoenix. The NASM and CAF Mesa are the only ones firmly on my list.

any help/pictures are greatly appreciated.

Steve

ps- sorry Pete, I think Nanton will be too far out of the way.

Steve
my initial impression is that you’re being a bit ambitious with your list of places you want to visit. Even in four weeks you’ll be hard pushed to see all of those and you’ll only scratch the surface of any of those places that you list if you try and do all of them.
Do you propse flying between all those locations? You’ll need to to get round them and even then you’ll spend a lot of time on aircraft and in airports.

I’ be inclined to decide East Coast or West Coast and maybe an optional side trip to Canada–maybe a flight home from there.
Mrs Aib and I once spent a couple of weeks progressing up the Eastern seaboard by car, stopping off and seeing places and things and people along the way. We dumped the hire car at Boston airport and flew up to Toronto for a few extra days at the end.

Hope this helps
Andy
