Nobody is arguing.

But this platform has only a few thousand hours under it’s belt.
The MAFT rig should be well ahead of it of course, and the crack will have shown up in the Rig specimen, so Airbus will be watching it “Ahead” of the living fleet. We hope.

B-52’s. Every one of those beauties had twisted Fuselage sydrome. You can see the buckling most glamorously on the one at Duxford. The light from the side catches it very well indeed.
They may not have been grounded, but they have been re-spared plus other structure replaced. Is it still on target to be the first 100 year Aeroplane? From first flight to last retirement..100 years. IIRC it has to get to 2049? Obviously, not the same one!

Women….My Mother watches Top Gear.
She says she like the “Blokiness”. It’s how men ought to be, not the wimpish over-polite, scared to make opinion types that are forced into other programmes.
And she was brought up surrounded by very polite Officer types in India, when we still ran it.

I applaud Capello.
Having a bunch of shiny-arsed no marks at the FA remove the Team Skipper on a potential guilty verdict is wrong on so many levels.

It aint going to go away, a crack can only grow and get worse.
It probably isn’t of concern because it is not part of the Wing Box. If it’s part of the L/e or T/e overhangs or panels, well…it can fly even if these ping off into the breeze. So long as it doesn’t hit the tail of course.

Kiss French
Wear Italian
Drive German.

China? They will build cheap cars made to a very high level of accuracy. Out of the WRONG materials. Just like everything else they make.

Japanese cars. Can’t argue with the reliability stats. Personally, I’m a person that believes we only dropped 10% of the bombs on them that we should have done in WW2. So, I don’t buy Jap if I can help it (Which is hard).

“Stale”.
Well, the formula works and keeps putting bums on seats, as they say.
The future ‘Sir’ Jeremy always entertains.

The format of Question of Sport hasn’t changed one iota since, when…1982??? That is really stale but keeps going.

I Still cannot understand why the stabilizers were fully extended when she was in calm water at the time.:confused:

Jim.
Lincoln .7

Dinner was being served. Any extra stability prevents the mushy peas slopping into your pint of Tea.

I’ve lost count of the number of morons of TV & in the papers who have said “It was lucky the ship was in shallow water when it ran aground”

yeah, because running aground with 2000ft of water under the keel in the middle of the ocean is a real ******…

Yeah, I laughed to. Morons on TV.

Hope they find more people, especially that little girl.
