What part of “the server’s being upgraded” didn’t you understand?
Why the ridiculous question?
You started it by asking if it referred to access from outside the US.
I had actually worked out you were trying to access the site. You mentioned it earlier so it wasn’t difficult.
If you read the other WIX related thread, you’ll see that Fargo Boyle says their server’s being upgraded.
The fact that you haven’t been able to access the site for weeks is probably not their problem but yours.
Not at all. The owner and the vast majority of the users are American, or Canadian, so obviously most of the threads are regarding US aircraft and events.
I think the first day I had a problem, this time, was yesterday so it seems you have a different problem. For me, it’s been absolutely fine since last November.
A lot of people use it but it’s understandably heavily US orientated.
It was offline yesterday morning but came back in the evening. Gone again now…
First twitches I’m aware of since the period a year or two ago when I had to use a VPN to access it.
Just because you don’t like the current regulations, or lack of them, is of no interest whatsoever to the US authorities.
As for not reading posts about TIGHAR, you won’t miss anything as they’ve never found anything yet and it’s a fair bet they’re not going to start now.
Gillespie’s income stream appears to be shrinking. Whether it will ever cease completely remains to be seen.
Not HP himself, George Volkert was the lead designer. As I recall, unlike GdeH, HP started to delegate design responsibility relatively early on the history of his company.
Also, British aviation archaeologists will not be having anything to do with the P-38 as it’s never going to be recovered.
What part of “protected, nobody can lay a finger on it” don’t people understand?
Hence MFowler’s ire, because some of the holidays were partly at his expense.
None at all.
It’s just Vahe.D, whatever that is, targetting 20plus year old threads.
The forum search engine has been hopeless for years. Use google.
To get it down to the jetty, unless the track is now considerably wider than it was 30-odd years ago, would require a lot of dismantling.
I hadn’t considered a helicopter but despite the obvious high cost, it could well be the most practical and economical solution.
Edit to add, a lot of man-handling would be required too. There’s a Land-Rover on the island – and that’s about it.
Having been to Lundy Island once, over 30 years ago, it’s difficult to think of a worse place to be stranded in the southern British Isles.
I think I’ve seen that there’s now a jetty, which there wasn’t then, so that should help a bit – but not much.
I still struggle with Americans calling aeroplanes ships.
There was a post on WIX a few years ago about a particular carrier landing and the problem of getting the ship on the ship…
Indeed. Adrian_Gray said that MH had died – in February 2021 – and I confirmed that Melv was not his username.
