    Its the same situation throughout the UK with people moving close to an airport then bleating on about the noise,

    Classic quote from some nimby near Southend Airport “I would never have moved near the airport if I had know jets would be invented!” 😀

    Who in thier right mind would NOT want hunters over head at 250ft…

    I was thinking (hoping !) that, North Kent aside, folks on the above wouldn’t need to worry themselves too much about “who to turn to ?” – they’ll be too busy being ‘Kebabed or Atomised’ 😀 😀 😀

    Just think, no more Isle of ****ty, Shoeburyness back in business as usual (the M.o.D Range) hopefully unearthing as yet, unfound T.S.R.2 components.

    But best of all, no more Sarfend & resident/Indiginous Chav’s & their Vauxhall Nova’s – they’ll all be mere fragments, Hallelujah. :dev2: :dev2:

    Then I can go back & visit the Kursaal Dome, a year later in eerie silence, reminding me of that Dome shaped ‘thingy’ that’s always featured on the Hiroshima aftermath footage……. NICE :p 😉 😀 :diablo: .

    Southend WOULD survive thank god, no windows would the sea front would be flooded but the water level would drop, Thames Forts would probably be lost along with the pier (at least any fire would be put out) but best of all

    No more Canvey

    PS: Chav Capital is Basildon, Colchester or Chumpsford…

    This is a bit like the saga of the Richard Montgonery, its a US Flaged ship that sunk in UK teritorial waters still laiden with munitions,

    should she blow who do the people of Sheppy, North Kent, and Southend turn to,

    The UK will not have to pay Non-UK flagged ship

    The US can claim Sovereign Rights and will not have to pay.

    Was’nt the Vulcan and 707 parts filmed at Southend?

    Going on to BBC2’s Airshow Programme, these was an episode when the Swordifsh flew in formation with Sea Harrier, filmed from a Sea King on the Saturday before the Southend Airshow need to check the date but it must have been 2000ish,

    I was at the airport working on the jet, when they were filming the take off luckly I had my camcorder with me but did anyone recorde the programme?
