now there’a sight you don’t see these days –

a policeman on a pushbike !!

those were the days

joking aside, interesting, very interesting

You should come around my way. We regularly see Coppers on bikes. They even wear cool looking shades these days.

High Horse? I think you’re the one on the high horse trying to boost your staus! “I know a Harrier pilot!” Don’t we all!

And one last point Phantom Fixer! JHF is Joint Helicopter Force!!!!!!!!!!!

Re your two qoutes Stewart.

Yes I know a former Harrier pilot as also know other pilots etc from differant aircraft types, It’s not a case off showing of at all. Additionally for the record Im sorry for my innocent mistake regarding using a keyboard late in the evening and getting three simple letters the wrong way around. A mistake we have all been guilty of at somepoint.

Secondly for those that know me and have read my postings they will know I dont care about “boosting my status” as you put it. It seems your the one with your chest puffed out doing all the huffing and puffing.

I really think you seem to be picking an argument with me for other peoples postings as exemplified by mentioning the Waddington comments on a thread which if my memoray is correct I didnt post upon. Yet I dont seem to remember you attacking the poster for that comment. Dare i say double standards?

I think you should go away and reread what I have written. Then learn to pass comment upon that not what you perceive has been said as it really is a world of differance and dare I say shows a certain ignorance on your part.

Sorry of this is a daft question but I know nothing of wreckology.

How long is a licence valid for Tangmere? Say if the wreck hasnt been recovered in x years does it have to be renewed or are others given a chance to become licence holder?

Ive never heard of TIGHAR before but what I found interesting was that they show no pictures of the P-38 on their www.

If I had a www trying to advertise a project and drum up support I would put pictures of the object in question on the site by the bucket load.

Yet……………………………..

My unqualified observation.

I went to Cottesmore last year as a day out for my birthday and saw…………..****** all.

Much to the disgust of the guard on the gate the “flyboys” were on holiday for an extended weekend. He didnt sound impressed.

This should be a cracking project to see, especialy if you leave the skin off and we can see all the guts or a GR3 (the last true british fighter)

Enjoy getting your teeth into her on these cold winter nights that await us 🙂

Keep us up dated

IF it had been a SHar it woud have been the last true British Fighter.

The GR3 was a ground attack aircraft.
