Hi All,
Snafu,
RM still a sensationalist then ? In my mind these people are just giving these Muslim fanatics what they crave the publicity to draw more fighter’s to their twisted idea of how the world should be, what makes me laugh is all these so called fighter’s fighting for their cause don not realise that if these Muslim jihadists get their way and the world does become a Muslim world ? all the things they take for granted will be binned in an instant from their freedom of speech to the clothes they wear.
Student Pilot,
They should let them go and fight as all country’s should and if they happen to survive just refuse the lot of them re-entry simple. When they come home crying it wasn’t like they expected or I was being stupid or as many of their Family’s claim they were brainwashed, they should keep them at the airport and put them on the first flight back. After all these so called fighters no matter what cause they are fighting for are no more than mercenaries paid or not.
I f you choose to leave a country you have been brought up in and are a citizen of, Or you have been so graciously given sanctuary in while your country has it’s problems if you want to shoot weapons in a war then join the Army/Air force or Navy. Also don’t suppose you should be welcomed back with open arms and want to return to the life you knew, that life vanished the moment you pissed off abroad to pick up a gun.

[QUOTE=1batfastard;2160632]Hi All,
I can ignore the acting and enjoy the history being told the acting just tries to bring it to life, My only problem was it was advertised as being from the point of view of ordinary people, when I heard an officer talk about ‘We had two bottles of Champagne to celebrate’ a certain event, it got under my skin to me it showed the vast difference between the enlisted who had nothing and those toffs who thought the war was a great adventure and still lived a life style as if the war was not on going.
That does not take anything away from the officers who actually did see proper fighting in the trenches alongside their men, also it works the other way around as I am sure their were those enlisted who skived everyday if they could. Good and Bad in all people from all backgrounds.

Hi All,
Sorry everyone I have obviously got my wires crossed here :stupid:, I had in fact started to watch the ITV production ‘The Great War: The People’s Story’ all of the above still applies and I am looking forward to the 2nd episode to morrow ITV – 9pm -10pm will now have to catch up with the BBC programme you are all on about.

Hi All,
This taken from the latest VTST news letter out earlier today will I think put a lid on the display together at Waddington. :apologetic:

Help us fund the planned unique Avro three-ship meeting next week
Avro Meeting The VTST has been asked to join a ‘once in a lifetime’ opportunity of a three ship meeting with the BBMF and Canadian Lancasters. We feel sure you all want us to take part but the extra costs are simply not budgeted.
This is why we are now asking XH558’s followers to support a limited issue of just 558 shares at £15 each – as this will directly cover our additional operating costs. Share certificate
This will cover a dedicated flight on Wednesday to arrive in good time for the meeting, a static photo shoot on Thursday, together with the logistical costs of the support team and equipment needed to look after her at Waddington and for the extra fuel costs involved before departing to display at Clacton.
We will confirm more details in our newsletter on Tuesday as to any final planning arrangements based on the funding required being successful.
In return for your support, not only do you help secure this extraordinary meeting, but we will issue a receipt for each share supported in the form of a special commemorative certificate that you can display and treasure with pride as a memento of a very special day.
CLICK HERE TO SHOW YOUR SUPPORT FOR THIS EVENT & A LIMITED EDITION SHARE CERTIFICATE – JUST A MAXIMUM OF 558 AVAILABLE

As an added bonus, any share support that includes an engine management share and exceeds £60 will also entitle you to a superb Olympus Engine cut-away illustration, reproduced from an original Rolls-Royce service manual.

Hi All,
Mk12,
Great update matey :eagerness: I still have not heard from the Israeli Embassy or the Aviation museum in Israel (Got a lot on their plate I assume at the moment ?) Anyway will give the Embassy a ring and e-mail the museum again while at the same time asking the embassy to enquire with the museum, they would probably get an answer than some pillock like me asking silly questions 😀
