Bloody hell cmon now Rob now your even berating the Welsh and bringing them in to the argument. What have the Taffs ever done to you then Rob. :diablo:

ha ha i live right on the North Wales border, they have got their own Taliban in those mountains you know, ready to fix bayonets lol

it would have been to have flown in Concorde but alas my bucket will be kicked without this.

to stand on Everest and to know i physicaly can go no higher, then paraglide from the top to save walking all the way back down.

might as well stick with the Concorde dream!! lol

if it wasn`t Millers aircraft then that would be a great shame from an historical point of view and also be a great shame for the owner of the notebook as regards the value.

there are memorials to German fallen within the UK but not Nazi ones, but none to japanese for a number of obvious reasons. the main one being location. the second i will try to get into words

in all the historical accounts that ive read in books or seen on tv the German folk were somewhat divided on what Hitler and the Nazi`s wanted. it was only because Hitler controlled military, Police and SS and most of the bordering countries etc and had a massive input into pushing his country into a war that most Civvies and polititians of Germany did not want.

in all the Japanese accounts they always seem to speak of the Emperor and doing their duty to serve him and Japan. sending their sons to a war because it was the right thing to do as it was what the Emperor dictated. i can not recall any mention of not doing his bidding, as that was not the way. the only time any rumpus was made was BEFORE and WHEN America was brought into the war by an attack that as the famous saying went “HAS GONE DOWN IN IMFAMY”.

I personaly have nothing against the modern Japanese people and even admire them, especialy with the way they dealt with the recent natural disaster. in the past i even started to learn to speak Japanese but this turned out to be just as hard as learning Welsh. i actualy know more German than i do either of these because part of my family is Austrian/German.

does that surprise you oppama??

FAT CHANCE

well theres one thing that wont be in this country and thats a shrine to the fallen from the land of the rising sun.

as for a bayonet display! Oppama your bang out of order to use a comparison like that..

its like watching tv. if you dont like what your watching then dont watch it and change the channel. if you or anyone else for that matter doesn`t like knives or bayonets then you dont go to see a display of them.

the world is full of evil doings and goings on but they cant be solved here on what is at its base line an aviation website. if you want to put on your mask and cape and save the world then do it somewhere else or go pester parliment or something.

AB910 is a MKV but retained the later engine as mentioned by mark purely to keep her flying. i believe she flew with some mod`d exhaust stubs at some point to give the look of the mkV. i think these were prone to cracking though.

out of interest

either the port or starboard outer engine on PA474 used the be a different mark of engine from the other 3 during the 1990`s. not sure if it still is??

ive done loads with ww2 veterens who fought in all theatres and yes its quite true that the way some counties fight and live are against the ethics of others. the living veterens remember the facts and still feel the anger because they were there fighting a foe that was fanatical to a cause that was fed to them from an early age by a strong teaching/ propaganda movement to the point of brainwashing. why not lay into the Germans for following the Nazi party and the Italians while we are at it.

there is no shame in admiring the designs of engineering they came up with and the way the work was organized but only when it was not used for slavery, torture or mass extermination.

a lot of our knowledge of oxygen starvation and what would happen to the human body if in an airless vacuum came from nazi/German experiments on those going to extermination or thought of as sub`human… it helped build the airliners we fly in today and fly man to the moon!!.

the same causes have not been carried on by the new generations thankfully.

the past can never be forgotten but it has to be lived with
