    Hope the pilot has a protected “No Claims Bonus”

    ………..Call me old fashioned by all means but I happen to think Bomber Command did a top job.
    ………..

    Which I think most people over 50-60 would agree with.

    I’ve only watched the first couple of minutes of the programme so far. The bit
    where they were interviewing teenagers in a pub.

    Strange that the only thing they knew about the bombing campaign, was
    regarding Cologne Hamburg and Dresden. No doubt all they were taught in school ?
    I doubt they had even heard of the Blitz

    Wasn’t there a book published some years ago, of Luftwaffe reconnaissance pictures taken over the UK ?

    If your pictures are on Photobucket, you shouldn’t be using any bandwidth on here, as you are only posting links.

    That’s how I see it anyway. :confused:

    This reminds me of when I was in a Chipmunk as an ATC cadet, flying from
    Marshall’s at Cambridge. The pilot put the aircraft in a tight turn and told me
    to lift my arms. Which I couldn’t do.
    Then when looping I got the greying out, followed by the blacking out for a
    second or two. Strange sensation the first time it happens.

    I just had this sent to me:

    Stow Maries may be in difficulty. The partner of the main backer is leaving the country
    so the financial situation could be iffy.

    Anyone have any more info on this ?

    Whilst I am no Comp Geek, I have been told folks who use two, or even 3 Anti Virus programs can cause these problems, and also makes your comp slower, as they are seemingly in conflict with each other.
    Norton I have been told, causes many problems.

    Agreed. I started using the free Microsoft anti-virus programme alongside AVG. It’s OK until they both want to do scheduled scans. That can really slow things down. I took it off again

    I wouldn’t use Norton either. It can take over you computer and really slow things to a crawl.

    Probably teaching people to suck eggs here, but it’s also worth Clicking the start button (bottom left) and where it says “Search programmes and files”, type in MSCONFIG. Then click on STARTUP. (yes I know there are other ways). Make sure only the essential programmes are marked, the majority can be turned off. It won’t stop them working.

    Its also worth using CCleaner , a free programme to get rid of unnecessary clutter.

    Andy, I had exactly the same probs as you a few weeks ago,I was using a paid for version of AVG. I managed to load a trial version of an American cleaner which picked up 5 Trojans, and many other items. All cleaned up now.
    I used to think AVG was the Bees knees.Not any more.But thats just my opinion.BTW The item is called…SUPERAntiSpyware.

    I use the free version of AVG, and have never had a problem with it.

    Some of the trial versions of “anti virus” software, will flag up problems, then ask you to pay if you want to get rid of them.
    Don’t touch those with the proverbial barge pole.
