Mr Ollerenshaw doesn’t really have a leg to stand on.
He has two – and he is going to have to stand up on them and take the bad publicity (and subsequent failure of his case, probably) like a man, not cry about how it all so unfair… – Nermal
Wasn’t there a time when Duxford was just the IWMs place and there was no flying? A place for IWM things, not just IWM wing-ed things – Nermal
Why would they have difficulty in finding a breeding partner??
For the same reason that George the Galapagos (spelling) tortoise might have problems – locating a mate when all the world could be your playground. There aren’t going to be very many and no matter how good the sense of smell a good near-miss of several hundred miles is no good if there are only a handful about. – Nermal
How often does someone see a 100ft blue whale, for instance??
Saw one in the high street last weekend!:rolleyes:
There wouldn’t be many of them, they would have difficulty finding a breeding partner, and there would be reports of large sharks being washed ashore at least a few times a century. – Nermal

For me, it was Saddam’s record, combined with his ambitions and power that make his very position as tyrannical leader of Iraq a threat to the rest of the world.

Picture attachment isn’t working at the moment. Try again next week – Nermal
Is the bi-plane a Parnall Peto?
No, thats on the other thread… – Nermal
Which came first – the attitude or the name? – Nermal
The second one down it looks to me to be a Provost but with a different engine some enlightmen for you dummy American
Boulton Paul Balliol I think
T
😮 Sea Balliol please!!!
These are all Fleet Air Arm aircraft – Scimitar, Sea Balliol, Firefly (drone), not sure about number 4 but is it a Sopwith Tabloid? The ast are Scimitars again. – Nermal
Alex – the submarine was called M2; it was one of the three M class.
Papa – there were three: as you say one was rebuilt with a different serial number after a major crash, but it apparently contained only slightly more than the data plate rebuilds of today hence the new number. – Nermal
For Instance…Wing Commander Robert Standord Tuck, D.S.O., D.F.C. and two bars.
Is it not DSO and bar, DFC and bar…? – Nermal
Maybe Hawker was deemed to be already blessed with the Hurricane? – Nermal
