Thought I would post a shot that demonstrates just how far NX611 has progressed in the last 20 years or so:)
Sorry for the poor quality of this scan but its from a negative that is rapidly deteriorating to nothing.

Gonze- They get my money a few times a year and they have since the place opened to visitors….IIRC the first admision I paid was 3 quid and 50p to go up a platform to see into JJs cockpit…….We may be discussing weather she should fly or not but I bet most people who have contributed to this thred have contributed to JJ flying again!!
Not the same as we need a MILLION in the next month either….different league entirely, so my money will help her fly:):)
Its only one sixth if the rest was still attached it may be worth having a ride but only on a really boring day:rolleyes:;)
Of course they are being paid, the programme was (probably) recorded last year. They are probably all vacationing in the Bahamas as we sit here in good old blighty freezing!!
Never believe what you see on TV, its a business like any other, there for one thing, to make money.
Insanity is not just for the insane!!
Its such a load of crap. how can a law like that be enforced? I’m a smoker, yes I know I smell bad and could die (I like the rest of us will die anyway) but heres the thing I’m a law abiding smoker, I don’t smoke in pubs/clubs/restaurants and I don’t mind going outside for a cig. I don’t smoke in my own home (voluntarily I go outside) I do smoke in my car (but not when non-smokers are passengers) I don’t smoke in other peoples houses or cars if they don’t smoke but I do if they do. Like a lot of other smokers I’m bending over backwards to keep the environment around non-smokers clean and its still not good enough!!
Heres how it is I’m addicted to nicotine its a wonderful drug and I enjoy it, its the other crap that’s impregnated into tobacco that kills us, a list of 599! other things in cigs can be found here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_additives_in_cigarettes
Before I hear the usual its bad for you etc etc, I know and I’m fully aware of that but its my lifestyle choice to smoke, it could be worse I could choose to be an alcoholic hang out on the streets making a nuisance of myself and annoying everybody. Theres drunks in every town, while not yet the social lepers that smokers are they should be, and I hope soon will be!
die young without claiming pension.
Not always true, old WW1 vet i knew started at a young age and packed them in at the ripe old age of 92. Life is a lottery smoker or non smoker.
On the contrary. Every animal (and human) has to die.

Indeed thats correct, but I cant help thinking its us as a parasite on this planet that should die out first.
Much more educational for all visitors in zoo’s (I think) would be feeding live animals to the Lions, Tigers etc. That way every visitor gets to see what the big cats really do in the wild…
I’m sure that the majority of us have seen domestic cats catching and killing something, so why should we not see big cats doing what they do?
no worse than doing something equally as dangerous, like riding a motorcycle or taking a walk in Africa looking for Tigers.
Motorcycling dangerous? Been riding a motor bike since 1971. Only come of 4 times and all 4 times on black ice.
Car drivers are the most dangerous things on the road especially on the A14 between Bar Hill and the Girton turn off as I find out every time I go to Duxford.
As for Tigers in Africa – they are found in Asia so not dangerous hunting Tigers in Africa.

Then you are lucky, I gave up bikes after a friend was killed, as usual caused by a car driver.
I’m aware Tigers are not found in Africa.
I once saw a movie where only the cops and military had guns,,,, it was called “Schindlers List”
What, exactly, was that statement meant to say? I know what it says about you, but to me all it says is that you want death, destruction, unnecessary slaughter.
Are you trying to say that if the Polish Jews had had guns it wouldn’t have happened? ‘Coz the Polish army didn’t have guns did they? (Yes they did, and that didn’t prevent it)
Are you trying to say that the US people should have their guns taken away so that your comparison with the Holocaust can be worked through? Ha – some chance.
Are you saying the US people should stand up and massacre the US police force because that is the only way to get them to stop and think? What a crazily dumb idea. You cannot sincerely believe that the police would think again just because there is a chance that the citizen might be armed – hell, they are shooting people for having phones in their hands at the moment!!!An eye for an eye would make the world blind…
All that from one sentence? I think its referring to the Nazis, who murdered who they liked when they liked. Read into that what you will, but who does America as a country spy on the most? Russia? China? Uzbekistan? Well its not those countries, oh hang on wait a minute, nope its their own population! Just exactly why is that?
As for killing the guy, premeditated murder, and you really do have to be blind not to see that
Because they (the authorities) are scared of the people – just like, for example, North Korea. And before the usual crowd barge in blaming Obama just remember that it has been going on for decades.
Hmm – does that mean they are/have been doing the same in Britain?
.
Sure it goes on but what astounds me is that the NSA is listening in on every single mobile telephone call, has the capacity to read every single E-mail and I’m sure has the capacity to do much more, and thats happening 24 hours a day 7 days a week! That’s not scared of the people that’s extreme paranoia!
Then there is the SS.
I would be scared of the general population if I happened to be paranoid enough and realize that 313.9 Million people could all have guns pointed at me, if I did something wrong!
The North Korean government are not scared of the people, its the people scared of the government, big difference.
I guess the greenies are going to jump on the band wagon again, saying that its this country to blame for all the pollution and sand, so lets raise taxes more to sort the problem out! An extra 20 quid on road tax and council tax that should do nicely. Thank You!
Then I can stand outside during the next time this happens shouting “but I have paid my greenie tax go away pollution!”
I have been let out of my padded room for the day!
