    thanks for that.
    I’d very much like to see that aircraft fly again.
    Is Frank open minded about visitors?
    Any further information gratefully received.

    Coal!!

    Hi MOF
    I’m not sure about coal but if I ever stop using it Duracell will go into instant receivership. There’s four AA’s in the winder alone.
    Thanks for the encouragement.

    Thanks.

    Robbo
    Thanks for the kind words.
    One advantage the old Ricoh has over modern cameras is that if you’re ever being robbed/attacked and you hit them with it they wouldn’t want it a second time!
    It’d take a picture afterwards of the stunned robber!
    Apart from that it’s showing it’s age.

    Anything….

    Anything with a piston engine (and wings) at Old Warden.
    I saw Black 6 there once–absolutley amazing as was the Blenheim, Sally B and the Catalina.
    As well as the collection aircraft.
    My favourite place.

    Thank God there’s two of us….

    Hi JN-4
    Quite a lot of my photography looks like that.
    I’ve been practising twenty years too but I still have a high failure rate.
    Keep practicing.
    All the best

    PS The static stuff is OK.

    After paying for two Sunblest sandwiches and six cups of Coffee in Cambridge last Tuesday.
    “Well, I’ll tell you what, that’s the best twenty one Pounds I’ve spent this holiday”

    Sorry about that Steve.
    I’ll pay next time but we’ll go to the Cafe near the bus station.

    Lastly
    Stephen chats to some of his fellow first class passengers on arrival at Heathrow last Sunday.
    (Will he be allowed out to play in the future?)

    P.S. We received a deputation from the Licensed Victuallers association yesterday informing us that the pub trade had shown significant signs of recovery in the last week but they were concerned about trade next week.

    Mrs Patterson…

    Hi Alison

    Mrs Andy in Beds and I will be there.
    We’ll make the beer tent rather than changing the plan.
    See you there at about 16.00hrs.

    Titanic…

    Dan
    Personally I found the portrayal of First Officer Murdoch extremely offensive in the pile of cr*p that was Titanic.
    Murdoch was a hero that night and many survivors’ testimony told of how he helped survivors into what lifeboats there were. Please also bear in mind being as senior as he was he must have known well in advance that his own chance of survival was slim perhaps says even more for him.
    To portray him as a bribe accepting gun-toting murderer of Irishmen is as I said above extremely offensive.
    I think you might find that the makers of the film had to give a small apology to his descendants.
    I imagine that his behaviour was the way Hollywood moneymen imagine everyone behavesβ€”as they do themselves.
    Pity they don’t maker a film about a ship full of useless actors, directors and Hollywood detritus sinkingβ€”preferably with no lifeboats at all!
    I might actually go and see that.
    Until I saw 45 minutes of Pearl’s harbour the other night I sadly imagined film making couldn’t get worse than T*tanic.
    All the best

    Hi All
    Myself and Mrs Andy in Beds will be there at about 10.00AM.
    May I suggest the new entrance area.
    I’ve also spoke to Steve Patterson by telephone this morning and he’s hoping to be there between 10.00 and 11.00.
    I think Robbo (a bl**dy early riser) will be there at 10.00 also.
    See you all Sunday
    All the best
    Andy πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚
    PS Snapper why have we got two threads running asking the same question?
