You can run a Bell 206 Jet Ranger on Farmyard Red Diesel.
My uncle did so in 1972. He had no choice, had an emergency landing in the middle of uncivilised France. I think he mixed ordinary petrol in it about 1 part to 10 Farmyard.

We have some Germans in town, tourists.
Even they have purchased and worn a Poppy.

………you’re kidding right?, nope, no smiley.

1,000lbs of muscle with 3′ horns and 4 steel toe capped hooves, red eyed, mucus dribbling, merciless, angry, male cow?:eek:

Are you not confusing this with a fluffy kitten?:rolleyes:

The winter evenings must fly by in your household. (where’s the weed smoking smiley?)

Nope. I have seen a Bull dazed for a few seconds in this way. It was in Spain, in 1972. It wasn’t in the Bull Ring, it was a Farmer just being a typical non-British farmer and treating animals with contempt.

The 2nd scene of going for the eyes, I have not seen. But the time to do it was there, should the need be.

Killing for food is one thing, but as a conservationist I have to say that killing other living creatures for pleasure just can’t be justified in this day and age, with no exceptions.

It just so happens I live in the middle of a sporting estate, and am often sickened by parties of ‘sportsmen’ heading out for a shoot. These small people think they are so macho with their tweeds, rifles and shotguns, shooting ‘game’, but I wonder how well they would do if they were to fight, say, a red stag buck naked, armed only with their teeth and nails? The same applies to Matadors – I would like to see how tough they are without the recourse to swords, etc!

What right do we humans have to decide if an animal lives or dies?

Because we are the superior race on the planet. We are where we are because we killed. Yes, we therefore have the responsibilty that goes with that. Sport killing of Animals is bad and probably should be stopped, control has to be done. But often the control is turned into a sport, this is grey zone.
..and, if you sock a Bull right on the nose with a good punch, you have a chance to do other damage to it, maybe blind it with your fingers…in the 6 or 7 seconds you have.

I’d kill certain humans for sport though. Osama for a start. Give him 1 minute head start and then take him apart with a 50 cal. Beautiful.
How many people signed up (For £25,000) to the spoof website for a holiday hunting down the Pirates off Africa? Several thousand I recall.

Done.
But sorry to say you are streets behind some of the others in % terms.

WRT the Leading edge damage taking out the wiring for Engine 1….
Dunno about A380, but it is normal practice to take all the wiring along the back of the Rear Spar, for exactly this reason. A severe bird strike test (8lb bird representing a Condor) is allowed to penetrate the leading edge but (Of course) not the Spar. So, there is little in the L/e apart from the anti ice ducting (Or wiring if it’s electrical) and the equipment/services for moving the L/e itself.

Just posted a message on the BSAC Forums, suggesting it could be turned into an artificial reef.

My Mother watched the US do this off the coast of Florida. They made a bit of a show of it. USAF threw a few at it as part of a display, then it was finished with a back-breaking torpedo. Wonderful. They were hiring out Binoculors on the beach…it was a few miles out to Sea.

Excuse me, but what on earth are you talking about? :confused:

Same question…..what on earth are you talking about? :confused:

Q1. The question was about leaking classified info….would I break the OSA. No I wouldn’t, but if terrorists had my kids then I would indeed sing. Seemple.

Q2. Whilst you were squandering billions in your anti involvement post, I was kind of supporting you. No ground troops, bomb the living daylights out of the place. No nukes, that brings complications in a World such as present.

Oh, and I signed the OSA, presently cleared to DV, like a lot on here.
