It is a brilliant series, tonight was part 3.This is series one and series two is being prepared.
Michael Dorn seen as Worf in Star trek flies and owns fast jets.
Brian Lecomber, good aviation details and a fine yarn.
Breathtaking, inspiring, astonishing 21 year project, a dream given form,oh and did I say that I am impressed !
We are all stuck with a system which is not perfect. It is tempting to think of direct action however that can backfire badly. Instead the only way forward is to gather evidence and help/involve the police. The majority of the police have also got the same feeling of frustration and also want to prosecute the people responsible.
Locally in North Scotland I have read of one travellers site which was closed, then demolished by the council. I have also seen on the goggle box footage of a well organised raid by police and other agencies on a site which resulted in court cases and disruption to criminals.
Thanks for the link, fine achievement.
reminds me that long ago I saw a colour air to air of a restored Lysander on the cover of Air Pictorial flying in Canada,I wonder what happened to that one?
Just Jane NX611 sat in salty Blackpool air for a long time, corrosion happened when the flaps were left down exposed and nothing was done at all ,but she survived. So I think the Beverley will be ok until funds for a roof are found.After all there are custodians actually interested in working on the Beverley.
It is sad and a reflection of desperation to make money by any means.Seems that any valuable metal which is not security gaurded can be stolen.
So when these memorials are rebuilt or made in the first place I feel that it would be better if they are moulded from a resin and treated to look like bronze. It would not be showing any disrespect to those whose memory is being kept visible and also allows for a smaller amount of fund raising.
To be fair to the gliding club, it was an very heavy prolonged weight of snow and over 600 farm buildings, many modern, collapsed in this area of North East Scotland.
Just amke sure that if you pack aircraft into a small space that it is strong enough in heavy snow..

Check out the getty image on the BBc news item about this, when you roll over the pic it says it is an aircraft taking off ! It is actually the model plane at the Heathrow tunnel access roundabout..Doh.
Search and rescue dinghy packs?
Fascinating account. I recall reading of a mutiny of the Royal Navy that took place at Invergordon and that only finished due to the visit of an unidentified member of the Royal Family .
Thanks for the encouraging finds, I wish I lived a bit closer, although 40 miles is considered close by many in North Scotland ! That tangle of tubing reminds me of my visit to Quarrywood.
It was a very silly episode however the kids liked it.I am not saying the Spitfire cockpit looked silly Stuart…although the disco lights were a bit odd!
For real drama I watched ep2 of Foyles War on Sunday evening.
