    Hove you done Google on Welsh langauge courses?

    Seriously though if you can speak other foreign languages e.g French then you can learn Welsh it just has its own characteristics thats all (like declining the verb at the beginning rather than the end, like wot most civilised languages do!!).

    You’ll have fun speaking to the 5 other people who speak it (most of whom wont speak to you because you arent Welsh)

    It wouldnt surprise me if this is kept reasonably close to their chest in order to limit any price speculation that may happen.

    In any case it would spoil the surprise 😀

    Anyone think this debate is turning nasty? I think is warming up nicely myself, I for one am learning loads and getting a deeper understanding of the issues. I have to agree with J Boyle that its a shame that another one or two arent flying but JJ is there as a memrial to a lost Brother (literally) I would be very surprised if she ever flew but its probably quite straightforward to get her flying.

    David, just reading what you said and the first two sentences appear to contradict one another

    I think it’s perfectly reasonable that a Shackleton could fly in British skies.

    After all the South African machine was well on her way before her unfortunate mishap

    Doesnt the exception rather prove the rule here (I am only half serious)

    I hope your right with your comments regarding Shaks being a benign type.

    Avro XIX and Moth at Old Warden (both BAe owned) Blackburn B2 at Brough. They arent old are they.

    I’ll agree they err on the side of caution, but in todays litigeous world they have to.

    IIRC one of the first shooting incidents in the Battle of Britain was a squadron of Spuitfires attacking a squadron of Hurricanes. The difference being that we try to learn from our mistakes instead of repeating them ad nauseam.

    Its a cracking series, at the end of the day it may not be totally accurate but if it gets the yoof of today interested then it must be a good thing.

    Not a helpful suggestion with regards to value but we get ours from Aon purely and simply because they support the Grace Spitfire and we tell them so every year that we renew.

    Other than that they are all much of a muchness really.

    The books Author is Richard C Smith and that sounds like a superb idea. Off on a Tangent I’m surprised that the BBMF nver painted their baby Spit as KL-B “Kiwi” (or maybe they did and I missed it)

    Because Andy and I were talking about the film only the other day, he understands full well that it is a spoof. Thus Andys post was taking the **** :rolleyes:

    And you have just proved my point 😀

    Even that total piece of **** film “Pearl Harbor” had some redeaming value, due to it’s aviation content.

    Nope that in no way redeemed that piece of CGI badly written crap. Kate Beckinsale on the other hand!!! (didnt Godber do well 🙂 )
