Although my hp deskjet 940c is several years old, it produces fantastic results, and is better in my opinion than my new Pixma MP450. However both cost more than GBP 100 here in Sweden.
People looking at my prints from the hp find it hard to believe that it’s an inkjet printer. Mind you, the ink is the most costly item, far outweighing the initial cost of the printer!
If there is an emergency, the passengers will have better night vision as they stumble towards and out of the emergency exits!
Yes, one at Newark and another at East Fortune – I have photos but must ration my pictures on this Forum nowadays!
Thanks, Wieesso, that’s where I got the 29th from (and also that date is quoted in Ray Sturtivant’s “British Prototype Aircraft”). I hope someone can provide the correct date from an unimpeachable primary source! I am too far away from Cosford to go there and ask!

More info – SAS has 27 of this type of aircraft, and there have been at least 18 incidents involving them since they recently came into service.
No wonder passengers are beginning to worry, not to mention the SAS management. I bet Bombardier are starting to feel uncomfortable too!
All SAS Dash 8/Q400 aircraft are grounded with immediate effect after this collapse of the starboard main gear this afternoon.

Must have been quite some aircraft to be able to fly a circuit at 20 mph!
Wellington production details cover 7 pages in the Putnam book “Vickers Aircraft since 1908” by C F Andrews so there is obviously far more information than can be given on this Forum!
I suggest you get hold of a copy – you could borrow mine, but would have to come to Sweden, as I won’t let it out of my sight!
Even in peacetime the attrition rate of carrier pilots was (and still is) rather high. The actual figures must be available somewhere, and I guarantee they will be hair-raising! My late father was on board the old HMS Eagle before and during WW2 and had plenty of such tales to tell!
It actually happened to me once, but at an aviation museum, not an air show, while on a rush-around visit in the USA! Hardly enough time to put the camera together!
My father was an Aircraft Apprentice before the war (service number 563828) and had a number of similar books compiled while he was at RAF Halton, all beautifully illustrated too. I was living in Sweden when he died, and by the time I got to England my late stepmother had thrown out all his RAF memorabilia, at least that is what I assumed. However perhaps someone was able to rescue something, so if anyone knows of any such books or his photograph albums containing memories of the aircraft carrier HMS Eagle on the China station before the war identifiable by his name, C F W Langsdale or service number 563828, please contact me by PM.
I find it a little strange that the originator of this thread has not so far made any further contribution to it. Perhaps the political mayhem has frightened him off!
I would like to know who made this decree – the school governors? Or is the British government once again meddling, this time stirring the educational cauldron, as it seems to have been doing for quite a long time?
Having lived in Sweden for the last 30 years, there are some aspects of the UK that make me glad to be out of it! Although there are some peculiarities here that would make my hair stand on end, if I had any!
