    “You’d better send a meat-truck…..Charlie copped a saucepan in the throat!”

    “There’s a spherical object in the middle of the road…..and it’s not a piece of the car!

    “Hi, this is car fifty-five…..we’re in a truck!”

    Great car-crash related lines from…..anybody?

    The indefatigable, unbeatable, shear genious of the Blues Brothers. John Candy RIP.

    Fortunately ‘less common’!! :)….up there with the Farman Jabiru for looks in my eye![/QUOTE]

    On the C-124, JB shows us a nice model. Thanks for that. Could have been your Dad who gave us the rides…!

    The Hind can carry 8 spec ops soldiers. And you don’t need an oversophisticated bird (designed as an anti-tank weapon in the beginning) to fight not so much sophisticated guys in the white skirts. The US can afford it, but can the others (and operate it at decent availability rate)?
    It’s not an Apache for sure, but can be fit with a very modern kit (as Nadew said above) and could present very viable platform for troops deployed in Afghanistan.
    I think that is what mark wanted to hear.

    “Fitted”. Like this stuff is plug and play. Yep.

    Which ATE company did you mean Nadew?

    Thanks for the feedback chaps, will have a scout round the above. Was going to use MS Access but I really dont like the product.

    I stopped spotting in 1974, but I imagine the principles are the same…..so tell me please why you need a database when the data you add to an already available register is “Date” and “Place seen”?
    I’m not taking the mickey, but has spotting taken on a multitude of other information?

    Don’t think they are planning on concrete ballast in the forward cargo hold yet… the delay doesn’t look like anything out of the ordinary.

    Wanna bet?

    The wing is wrong (Because the engines are wrong), if I say anymore I’ll be in trouble.

    Please don’t quote the entire post that you are answering when it is directly above your own post. It is not necessary. Moggy

    I suspect people wont answer on a public forum, as the solution you seek is thought of as illegal, but it isn’t always…. see: –

    I’ve long ago learned that Government of any colour is inept and corrupt.

    I’m hveing some of that corruption at next vote. Whichever slimeball offers me £10 to vote, I will do so. No matter who. As a man of my word I will vote that way too.

    The concensus is that GW is real.
    The heated debate still rages on the cause and the drivers.

    Another angle, from a source I don’t usually have any time for whatsoever was from a Vicar I happened to be next to in a pub one Saturday. He stated the the Earth will heal itself, anything that comes from the Earth will have a counterbalance somewhere else on the Earth. An interesting opinion that could well be true.

    Anyway, onto the next debate……all pals, and both sides have read up on the others, which is forward IMO. “Challenging prejudice is the only way to know your opinion” as my Economics master told me, when I asked why he was reading the Sun and the Morning Star during the same tea break.

    At the end of the Royal Society webpages on theis subject, it states : This document was compiled with the help of the Royal Society Climate Change Advisory Group and other leading experts.
    No names.
    All 8 of their ideas of a misleading argument is countered by the sources I posted earlier, they are the same ideas relied on by the “It’s man’s fault” team.

    In 20 years time, you can drag this thread up to compare and contrast. The Earth will be a little warmer than now, the hole in the ozone will be gone or just normal in the months it’s supposed to be. The Polar bears may be dead, but the penguins in the Antarctic will be flourishing, it’s getting colder there as we speak. Man will be producing very little Co2 and it will have made feck all difference. The Sun decides. That’s why the surface temperature on Mars has been getting warmer in the past few years. Mans fault of course…..that probe that bounced instead of landing must have set a reaction off.
    The earth has always changed, and yes it is sunspot activity, the old 7 to 11 year agricultural cycle is just doing its turn, like it always has done.
    Oh, and dont forget the Moon. As it moves further away, 2 inches per year, its gravity is less upon us. Apart from tides, what else is that MASSIVE effect changing on our bit of terra firma? It must be slowing our spin for a start, it may be introdcing a wobble, we’ve been dancing as a pulled pair for a while now. It may even be altering our tilt.
