Top stuff, nice drugs washed down with Moxie, theres a good chap. 😀

I really dont know whether there are any of the SallyB team on the forum. When I had a brief chat her owner last year she was more concerned with the day to day running costs. If the’vew read this thread though it may give them something to think about.

Rob

Please take your drugs you are getting way too excited this evening. 😀

You have had several members of the forum explain to you what is needed for SallyB to take passengers, you have failed to ask the most important question of all yet, do her owners want to take passengers?

The systems of both Taxation and aircraft certification differ greatly between the US and the UK, we are perfectly capable of keeping our own house in order. Your concern is appreciated but not needed.

Thank you

Posting photos on the web is probably not a fair comparsion, in order for them to be usable they need to be redused in size (both physically and file) in order to display them. In this case Digital has the advantage bacause of the speed at which it can be made ready for displaying on the web (minutes instead of days)

If we are talking printing of Images then its a different kettle of fish. Uncle Melv is very fond of his pixel analogy and IMHO its a close run thing for anything up to A4 size (I havent printed anything larger yet).

It was said earlier that its not necessarily better but different, there is now a “Third Way” 35mm and Full Frame we now have Digital. Better for some things, not better for others.

I’ll let you have a play with my toys when we next meet and let you have a disk with the images you take, you can them make the comparison for yourself.

Cracking shots BTW

Cracking stuff Martin. It looks like you are enjoying your new toy.

Any more?

The MOD will do nothing unless the cost is covered by the people wanting the shipping.

My question then is this has anyone approach the owner to offer him a Tax Right off for the airframe

UK Tax laws are different from US Tax laws so it may not be as simple as you state.

The aircraft is beyond salvage, but if someone wants to have a go thats fine by me.

Sorry, but you can’t go around making laws because you think the general populus are thick as pig sh*t.

Very eloquently put, but that is precisely why many Health and Safety laws are in place. The Public dont have a full understanding of the risks (in this case neither do the scientists) and so a degree of protection has to be put in place.

it’s far more rewarding to implement
safety procedures than to sit in the back of an ambulance with a seriously burnt twenty one year old who was injured because the rules wern’t implemented.

Some of the H&S posters I have seen in hangars on airfield are very graphic for precisely this reason.

It all depends upon the degree of risk, In this case it cannot be quantified, but access for a short time is still granted. Is this not a sensible solution?

Each case HAS to be treated indiviually, if that means that extra staffing is required and that cannot be afforded then it becomes a budgetary problem as well.

Oh and I still have the yellow flouescent vest which says I’m wearing this to cover someone elses arse.
