    ‘why is it at manchester? ‘, because they were built at Woodford, Manchester, they were probably the only site interested at the time.

    Sorry for delay in posting – forum seems really slow tonight!

    Since when has Woodford been in Manchester or has Manchester been moved in to Cheshire?:D

    Why has nobody mentioned that the quality of a lens drops off the wider the aperture you use, there will be a fair difference in quality between a £4000 lens set at F 2-8 and a £300 Sigma set at F3-5, it will be at the edge of the frame were the difference will be seen. I think a lot of peoples problems are
    caused by camera shake

    Sink them off the coast to make artificial reefs, they will probably last longer down there than over a heavily defended enemy Airfield:D

    How about a squadron of these at airshows. Looks very authentic.
    IIRC there was a 1/4 scale Halifax at airshows in Yorkshire.

    Should send that to BBMF, to show them how to do a top side pass:dev2:

    Fair enough, I accept that ‘they’ are allowed to insult and threaten and blow up our own society and beliefs, or lack of them, while we have to grin and bear it, doesn’t hold much hope for the future does it, this saga is just the tip of the iceberg and it won’t be over in 15 days either.
    It doesn’t seem to be a problem to take the mickey out of the UK ‘Queen and countries’ religion by quoting chunks of Monty Python on here, I totally agree with that, it’s what we are all about, but you have to apply the same rules, so remove them please, don’t forget, us Christian Norman invaders are becoming an ethnic minority ourselves, we won’t be able to have a complaining voice at all at this rate of takeover.
    I listened to a fantastic interview with the Archbishop of Canterbury on Jeremy Vine a few weeks ago, I’m not a religious person, but some of the things he said got me very worried, it came across to me that he was as concerned with the future of this ‘Christian’ country as most of us free thinking people are.
    Religious persecution has gone on since the year dot, we thought that C of E v Catholiscm finished in the 17th century, but it carries on, not just in NI either, I thought that the Human Race would have sorted itself out by now, but it never will, there will always be something to have a war about.

    How true

    I heard that teddy bears are looked on as evil and violent by some in Sudan, and that is why they particularly took offense, I don’t know how true this is.

    Them Bears have been evil b%st%rds since some bitch nicked their porridge 😀
