    This is an interesting article, and I post it here for your perusal.
    I make no comment on it’s contents, as I have no way of knowing if the “facts” presented are valid.

    She was interviewed by Raymond Baxter in a BBC TV programme called, I think, “Spitfire !” in the early 80’s, with AB910. I have it on tape somewhere. Could be on YouTube if you look.

    Yes, I remember that well.

    BBC and then Aljazeera is where I look for my news

    For those of you who have never tried it.

    It certainly is nice to be able to see world news from a variety of sources, and how others look at what’s happening in the UK.
    For example, the best coverage of the recent meteor strike was on RT.News

    I assume this is the Lightning featured on the “Test Pilots” TV series ?

    “Where the pilots had their first taste of vertical take-off”

    What a good series that was.

    What! You gotta be kidding right?
    It sucks.
    Getting your daughter to throw hand grenades out of a hotel window just so you can judge how far away you are!!
    Matron!

    It’s not supposed to be true 😀

    As a bit of escapism it’s not bad.

    These flight sims have certainly come a long way since I used to play them.
    When you had to load via a stack of 3.5″ discs. x 9 with Overlord .
    Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe , was on 3 x 5.25″ disks:eek:

    My copy of Overlord was previously owned by the late David Moore.

    And isn’t it also strange that for all the extra environmental taxes in place, not a single damn thing has changed in terms of infrastructure, transport, etc?

    On the plus side, vehicles are a lot more economical to run now, as regards fuel economy.
    Even a lot of large family saloons are doing well over 40mpg

    Just FYI, the hotel & rental costs are covered by the show organisers.

    I remember a while back looking at the list of requirements that the Thunderbirds and Blue Angels
    have, when they are performing away from a military base. It makes your eyes water, and must
    be extremely expensive.
    Very detailed needs, right down to the number of cars they need to transport personnel to their
    accommodation.
