    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.

    And how many other rulers have the same ambitions and the same profile?
    The reason given for the invasion was WMDs. The police cannot raid a house looking for guns or drugs, then, having found none evict the occupants because they are lousy neighbours. – 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
