    Hi All,
       Sad to say but with the Crimbo period finishing then my B’day I never did much reading but I am now making up for it.

    I am 10 chapters into a light relief book ( Harry And The Hendersons by Joyce Thompson),

    A tie-in to the movie from Universal Pictures and Amblin Entertainment (Speilberg et al). An unusual and havoc-wreaking housepet named Harry joins the Henderson family household. Just as Harry and the Hendersons come to love each other, the neighbors decide Harry’s a monster and must meet his demise. Sounds like wild and wacky family entertainment.

    I watched this film years ago with my daughter and thought it was quite amusing especially with the comedic talents that John Lithgow played.

    Hi All,

    Regarding my PPE comment maybe you know something about the state of VTTS funds that I obviously do not.  I knew that they had problems but it never occurred to me that any mismanagement of funds was the route cause of the lack of funds.

    I just thought being as money was tight and with at leas two or possibly three other Vulcans going live they are all screaming for money,  that and money being tight anyway especially the last couple of years people being more picky than ever who they donate to.

    But it does irk me that the government waste so much money on projects that the UK will never benefit from plus anything with the buzz word Diversity attached seems to get the nod when this country has so many other problems that needs attending to,  so I hope you can forgive me for thinking like I do.

    Hi All,

     Wow! 21 pages of whatever good luck to the tech who is trying to clear this crap up and thank you.

    I can’t see this is all one person just tapping away it must be some sort of cyber attack with whatever intention in mind ?  If you notice variations of a similar four letter worded I.D.   But one of the id’s AGED followed by the time it was posted  6 hrs etc. etc. is very apt for this petty act….  

    I can’t help wondering if these attacks are more sinister than just spam ? What about one of these so called internet bots ?  they only have one job gather info, putting out info much faster than any human can do ?

    Is it possible whoever could be gathering of the forumites info in they’re personal files ?  for whatever reason  ?    What about just gathering email addresses for infecting them with just this type of crap or viruses pretending to be from fellow members ? 

    Could it be picked up via the signing of a petition or posting another link with information on a thread ?   A member using what for all intense purposes is an infected legitimate link ?  with only one click it is downloaded on to the forum without intention ?………..

    I imagine the T33 and CT133 use the same wheel as would I imagine a P-80 ?

    Just out of interest what are the dimensions of the tube you need ?

    Hi All,

     Had another dig around a came up with these links below,  Firestone owned a Waco and this aircraft was used in the inaugural  Liberian Air-Mail Service flight (Ref links).

    Hi There All,

     I am certainly no expert he but it looks like a (Ford 5-A Tri-Motor),  you’ll find many pictures via Google mostly without the wheel spats.  I did come across a couple with the wheel spats as for everything else it fit’s the design IMPO.

    Hi All,
    Just started Dirk Pitt Revealed by Clive Cussler & Craig DirgoA reference that brings together all the facts about Clive Cussler’s fictional action hero, the debonair Dirk Pitt. (Courtesy of Amazon)

    I really like the Dirk Pitt novels by Mr Cussler and am looking forward to reading other material by him, his life seems to imitate Pitt’s to a point from what I have read so far in this book and other snippets elsewhere.

    EDIT:  Now having finished the book I feel I have to point out that only the first quarter of the book gives an insight into how Pitt was created and his character details along with a brief synopsis of novels from ( Pacific Vortex – Flood Tide ),  the remainder of the book being a concordance of the same Pitt novels.
