    We tried an auto feeder, she just beat the crap out of it. Then killed a mouse out of frustration.

    However the look on her face last week when the small furry thing she pounced on turned out not to be a mouse, but a Stoat 😀 😀

    I though i was bad but those b****rs are nasty.

    No brainer I’m afraid, Old warden wins every time. I always used to think Duxford had a certain magic about it. Then after 30 years away I re-discovered Old Warden.

    Duxford was great (before they moved the display line) and is still good, but OW has magic.

    It wont stop me going. Its a magical place and great fun.

    I’m glad I saw that last flight as well.

    Our cat is self feeding, problem is she leaves bits of rodent around the house afterwards.

    Anyway I am afraid that I cannot make it. The Last Shuttleworth display of the season and the last flight of the LVG is to big a draw for me.

    However can I express my sincere thanks to Ashley for going to the trouble of arranging it for us. I will really try to make the next one.

    Based on what LN SE says how accurate is the rest of the list?

    That wouldn’t explain the whole BB crashing. I really dont care how the thread disappeared what I am getting annoyed about is the flakey old BB software keeps dying and Key arent communicating to us what they are doing about it.

    As I said it doesn’t instill any faith in the company – to get subscriptions right etc – if they can’t keep a simple BB up and running.

    This board is crashing far too often. If it happens much more it will drive me away, which would be a shame as there are some friendly chaps here.

    Pointless asking for the webmaster to explain I suppose. Yes we know that one of the threads was corrupted and forced the database to crash, but what are you doing to prevent it?
    This doesn’t show Key Publishing in a very good light does it?

    Talking to a chap at Duxford at the weekend about the Beau, its not about money but Engineers, they have a severe lack of qualified Airframe Fitters to work on her. Oh and Props, no props no fly.

    Wouldnt waste my money on the Vulcan, she’ll never fly (and If I am proved wrong I will be one of the happiest men alive. and yes I have already given money but I have since learnt the reasons that it will never happen)

    If I had a Million it would be split between the Blenheim and Kev’s admirable idea re the veterans.

    But keep me away from Karel Bos bacause I wouldnt be able to help myself 😀

    Edited to add, wrong Beau but you know what I mean.

    And I entered into a not unconnected diatribe about how much I hate her. Fun isnt it:D

    I have no desire to meet her. And I will excercise my right to slag her off as long as she continues to use her undeserved, privileged position to comment on things she knows nothing about In a way that causes damage to a place that I enjoy and love.
