People that don’t know when to give it a rest and move on.

:mad::mad::mad:

I hate it when working on any project; when I take over from somebody on something that isn’t finished. Be it a car, at work, anything. You can guarantee the numbnuts involved will come back for another shot when you think you’re doing okay, and try and pull apart all your hard work.

They conveniently forget that the reasons they left the project(s) were that they may have been:

lazy
uncooperative
uncommunicative
backhanded
manipulative
guilty
overpaid
underworked
over hyped…

..mouthbreathing, knuckle dragging, ill mannered morons, – basically just guilty of being a waste of left over DNA and stealing the world’s precious oxygen!

Yes, I’m better at what I’m doing than you.

No, I don’t give a monkeys about how you would have done it, why you would have done it or where it would have been better.

You may have an opinion, but its wrong… because the rules say I don’t have to listen to opinions from anybody that has half the IQ of a glass of water.

You had your shot, blew it, now its my turn.

Idiots.

Shush you!

Our little crew are all working really hard on 963. She’ll be ready in her own time; then we’ll see whether she can match the Nimrod for noise making.

I don’t expect this will cut any ice, but if, in reply to previous comments, I said Dr P worked 3 years for no remuneration, – so he’s been there and done that…..

and when in 2008 it became apparent they would have great difficulty in maintaining crew availability when they all had day jobs, 4 of the aircrew either gave up full time employment or didn’t take up offers of further employment to ensure they would be available –

– and they are only paid for the days they work and seeing as 558 only flew 28-30 days last season including the P to F test flights, they gave up financially far more that they gained!!!

[and in some cases I know some monies received have been given back as a donation]….

I think personally that shows commitment & dedication and not a reason to put the boot in.

No more argument from me then on the wages front. Cheers for that.

Sadly “Over Exposed” is a little too well known for her own good after featuring in a local guide book. Part of which mentioned that many take pieces as momentos.. something which a lot of people took to mean take what you want.

The engines have had their cylinder pots and props sawn off, one of the mainwheels has been unbolted and removed, and every time you go up there’s evidence of fresh digging. At one point two out of the four rivets holding the plaque had been smashed off (Well done to the Ranger who was going putting them back in as we came off the hill. Top man.)

I’ll be back up on that hill in a few weeks time for the Remembrance service and I’ll try to get a few shots.

Any news on how this went? I was hoping to get down there this weekend but transport issues are still keeping me away.

Baz,

That’s good to hear about the Shackleton, that she is getting some thought from the RAF as well as the love she’s had over the years from the CAS. I’d be interested to see how the Bio dome idea progresses.

Has anything been brought up about her fate should the MOD move out of Newquay altogether? I (and I’m sure many others) would hate to see her pop up on a tender list as happens with a lot of gate guards when the forces move on.

Nice to see that there’s a lot of co-operation from the respective bases over the memorials too.

Regards,

Rich

Now you come to mention it..

(They wouldn’t dare. Would they??)

Because they won’t bloody let me!! 😡

10 years of trying was enough… for now.
