    What a wonderful day !

    First I am going to drink a third of a pint of milk, then I am off to buy fireworks to be detonated during the funeral, then I’m going down the pub. What a wonderful day ! D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:

    Kabooom !

    Some cracking clips from locally here. Blisteringly bright light, smoke trails above, then huge detonations, must have been quite frightening.

    . Not sure if the shells exploded if they didn’t come into contact with a target though.

    Most of the ammo types in use would self destruct due to tracer burn through according to Wikki

    Indeed HM Gov take note:

    “The three men aboard this aircraft were heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country,” Commander Blow said in a statement announcing the finding. “The story of the Grumman Duck reflects the history and the mission of the Coast Guard, and by finding the aircraft we have begun to repay our country’s debt to them.”

    Commander Blow said that recovering Lieutenant Pritchard and Petty Officer Bottoms would mean that all of the Coast Guard’s missing members from all wars would be accounted for.

    The Coast Guard said the plane is to be dug up and the men’s remains repatriated.

    “It would bring closure” if the men’s bodies were returned, Ms. Morgan said. “I hope it all happens.”

    What a load of rubbish, if you have read and seen that naming the individual could result in Key being prosecuted. This has nothing to do with ‘in crowd’ and more to do with ‘can’t be bothered to read a whole thread’.

    That naming the individual could resuly in Key being prosecuted
    Then don’t mention them in the first place !
    What Trumper and myself have a gripe with is the ‘I know but can’t tell’ situations as they start too much speculation and bickering.

    This medium should be for the sharing of knowledge, equally amongst all the members whatever their interest, depth of expertise etc with the bottom line being everyone enjoying and understanding the subject more and for the common good.
    There is undenialbly however an elite section. On the whole their extra knowledge can be facinating and informative but unfortunately sometimes there is an element of “I/we know and you don’t” that can creep in, as is clearly evident in this very thread.

    Be it the naming of an individaul as in this case, or disclosing the contents of an incoming or outgoing shipping container, who now owns/has purchased/sold what to whom/where/when etc….etc …ect . If it is the case that any further disclosures on a given matter could result in legalities, be personally sensitive, commercially confidential, result in the bean spiller losing their credibilty with the person/organisation/operator who gave them the information ‘in the strictest confidence’ in the first place. etc…. then for goodness sake don’t mention any of it in the first place.

    I am not in the upper echelon, I don’t expect that Trumper feels himself to be either and probably like me, he doesn’t care. What he does care about however, exactly like me, is the feeling of being excluded, which his first short post alluded to and his second clearly states.
    I hope my second “two penneth” on the matter makes things a little clearer as there is apparently a great difference between bothering to read a whole thread (which incidentally like Trumper I also have) and ‘understanding’ a whole thread which………………………………………

    Apologies for thread drift folks, have we found the missing machines fate yet whilst I have been waxing ? 😉

    Yet again a cryptic thread of “we know” you don’t :rolleyes:

    Precisely the reason that I and quite a few others these days merely surf throught here and straight back out again without participating any more.
    Can we please have a closed sub forum for the favoured “in crowd” to play in so us mere mortals don’t get so p*ssed of with the “I know a secret and you dont brigade”. 😡
    2 penneth donated and therefore TTFN. :diablo:

    They cut that bit out.

    Ridiculous.

    This seems to be a very strange edit indeed. Christopher Plummer has just been shot down, no trapped in the cockpit with hands aflame scene, most odd 🙁
