    Hi All,
    Tony,
    Did you just forget that you had opted for the PPI when taking the loans out ? As I just asked the wife and she said you would have had to have opted like myself only I chose not to when I bought my last car just like yourself for months we have been bombarded with PPI calls so you set my mind racing 😮
    Your pictures look smashing very clear with good colour and details, anyway about your camera do you find digital or film takes a better photo ? myself I never made the swap having not mastered my Cannon EOS 😀

    Hi All,
    CD,
    Have to agree again on your first point I suppose at the end of the day you can always make any viewpoint fit into any standpoint and there are always two sides to any argument.
    3000 Aircraft is that figure correct now ? especially as the UK has reduced our order also if I am not mistaken a few others have all reduced theirs simply due to the cost shooting up and it will continue to go up even further if they make fewer surely ?
    Like your 1st point I will agree with you on the costing and I would of thought you only build what is practical and not overstretch that surely is just sound logic business wise isn’t it ?

    Hi All,
    CD,
    I dare say you are right but nothing comparable to this shambles, as far as the Typhoon goes it has turned out to be better than what was hoped hasn’t it ? It’s not about being conservative just about wasting money that could have been better spent, on the Modern military thread page they are discussing the 6th Gen fighter and all the development costs that would incur, I just don’t understand why when the 5th Gen is not fully operational has been plagued by cost overruns and equipment malfunctions etc.etc. Yes I agree these come as part of the aircraft developments package but really the cost involved that have been swallowed up by the F-35 is just mind blowing mismanagement to the highest level from top to bottom I would guess.
    As far as going to war in biplanes we did Gladiator and Swordfish and we weren’t the only ones according to this site below. 😀

    Hi All,
    Paul oh Paul,
    I see you have fallen into that classic mistake for confusing Alien extra-terrestrial craft with UFO’s 😀 UFO’s are 100% real as if you see something flying and cannot identify it it’s a UFO 😉 As for extra-terrestrial craft piloted by ET I am a believer even if only a day dream :highly_amused: but like you say considering were we are and how insignificant this little blue dot is in the cosmos then odds are in favour of other intelligent life out there, whether that be advanced or below our own intellect (Though judging by some of the knuckle draggers on this planet you wouldn’t believe it :p) must be quite high and to think we are the only ones is arrogant really and as for refunds no way they just let you come back for a bit of abducting or if your really lucky some inter breading with you lot. :highly_amused:

    Hi All,
    Alan,
    Yes should be good although some minor snags the programme does give out some good info on the Airfields despite my grumbling. 😀
