    That seems to cover every aspect of the incident.

    Thank you !

    It’s amazing how they considered those aircraft losses during the 50s, to be acceptable. 🙁

    They are available, although illegal to use.

    Some buildings, lecture theatres included, have cladding or a “Faraday Shield ” built into the walls and ceiling to block signals.

    What really get me though, is when visitors come to your house, get a call on their mobile and expect you to be quiet.

    Did anyone from the forum actually go ? I’ve yet to see any reports or pictures.

    I did find this on Youtube though : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B092qvttZGU

    That must be the first time I’ve seen XH558 completely inverted.

    What was the endurance of the Hunter, with internal fuel alone ?
    I imagine that if they were doing dog-fight practice, it would have upped the consumption somewhat.

    Regarding the above incident (and yes I know, it’s easy to be wise after the event) wouldn’t it have been down to the pilots
    to know their fuel state ?
    Allowing for for diversions if demanded by the weather.
    Although possibly for many of them, it may have been their first experience of having to divert due to the weather.

    It’s certainly looking good.
    It reminds me of seeing a shiny RCAF F-104 at Wethersfield, back in the late 60s (?)

    Once Nadal and Federer had gone out in the early rounds, there was a certain inevitability as to
    who would win the championship. They had decided it was Murray’s turn to win this year.

    It’s a shame that the best game wasn’t the final, but the semi-final between Djokovic and Del Potro

    Strewth !!… I’m not even a tennis fan 😀

    Very nice pictures.

    There was a Cessna RF-172, Seaplane… G-DRAM in the area on Saturday, did it come anywhere near the airport ?

    Grits teeth–well done.I think he now needs to relax and start to bring a “nicer” personality forward.

    He has a personality ?

    Totally different than the women’s champion Marion Bartoli. She has a fantastic personality.
    Perhaps he needs a speech coach, as well as a tennis coach ?

    Am sure that you would be committing trespass if you went on there.
    Fencing is still all around it, not sure if civil security is used.
    Know someone, who knows, so will find out for you.

    Thanks, it would be appreciated.
