    Hi All,

    The Tomorrow War – 2021 via Amazon Prime.  An excellent back to a good old fashioned none PC/Woke – take your brain out relax and enjoy entertainment.    If you like your Sci-Fi you should like this with a few classic Sci-Fi references in some scenes which only add to the film IMHO.  There  are rumours of a sequel so I for one am keeping my fingers crossed…

    Starring:- Chris Pratt, Yvonne Stahovski, J.K. Simmons, Betty Gilpen, Sam Richardson,             Edwin Hodge, Mary Lynn Rajskub, Mike Mitchell and Seth Scenall.

    The world is stunned when a group of time travellers arrive from the year 2051 to deliver an urgent message: thirty years in the future, mankind is losing a global war against a deadly alien species.

    Hi All,

    Apologies for posting this but it does relate to the FW200 restoration being complete it popped up on a Youtube recommendation.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZb1TUIfeWo

    Going off track slightly and talking of FW’s anybody know any details about what the future is for the Paul Allen FW189 Owl ?

    The last I heard was that it was still in the US,  but since Mr Allen passing nothing.  Other than some of the airframes are being moved on to help with other current projects and the running of what he had achieved.

    Hi All,

    Prop Strike – I realise the sharks were a military team but not that they had disbanded back in 1992. 

    Also my quote just shows how long ago since I saw them at an air show the last time I saw them…

    Thanks for the update anyhoo!

    Hi All,

    Adrian_gray – I think you’ll find they call themselves (The Sharks),  years ago they used six of the gazelles and always a crowd pleaser when I saw them.

    Hi All,

     As Fargo Boyle states about not having a copy but try thinking outside the box to obtain a copy.

    Ebay / Local ATC Squadron / Local museum shop indeed any museum shop that relies on donations ? / The ads page in Aeroplane & Flypast magazines / come to think of it why not drop them a line you never know.

    Hi All,

    Three chapters into Odyssey by Neil Mcaleer.   Written with the full co-operation of Arthur C. Clarke and his family, this book charts the life of one of the world’s greatest science fiction writers. The book examines Clarke’s visionary approach to science, which fuelled both his work as a prophetic commentator and his writing.

    Hi All,

    Four chapters into Cagney By Cagney so far a great insight to his early life and beginning of his career.

    Mr Cagney was advised to do this autobiography being as there were other unofficial books being written.   This book IMO is the true autobiography of the actors life and from his own lips not the musings of somebody who thinks they know all about him after researching other material already available.

    Hi All,

    Four chapters into Clive Cussler – Pacific Vortex, so far quite good and judging by the last Dirk Pitt series novel I read (Dragon) I should enjoy it as a matter of fact I enjoyed Dragon so much I have bought all the DP novels now…

    Pacific Vortex! is an adventure novel by Clive Cussler. Though not the first book to be released featuring the author’s primary protagonist, Dirk Pitt, Cussler states that this was the earliest story he wrote starring the popular action hero.

    Hi All,

     Just about to start The Seed and the Sower & Night of the New Moon by Sir Laurens van der Post based around his experiences as a prisoner of war of the Japanese in World War II. 

    The books dramatized in the 1983 film starring:- David Bowie,Tom Conti, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Takeshi Kitano and Jack Thompson.

    I watched the film many years ago so when I have read the book I can then re-watch  the film, but the last time I watched it I enjoyed and it has slipped under the radar as one of David Bowies good acting roles IMPO.

    Hi All,

     Five chapters in to Jaws by Peter Benchley.  Having watched the film a few times I thought it about time to read the book that the film was based on.  IHMO having watched the film it adds to the reading as you can picture the main characters that helps the storyline.

    EDIT: A couple of differences from the film but none the les still a good read.

    Geoff.
