Andy Hill was 50 when 11 people died as a result of this,do the RAF have any fast jet pilots still flying them at this age? No if not I wonder why not?

An unpopular opinion in these parts, but one that I personally endorse (not that it counts for anything).

As I said before: Such courage, enthusiasm and perseverance; akin to missionaries. I’ve read and heard the idiom ‘doing the Lord’s work’ many times, used to describe an uphill, if not altogether impossible, task.

Discussing at length (with nobody) that an axis aircraft was actually alright? Asking the sort of questions about aircraft construction that often get exasperated and snarky responses… then answering your own questions… On a forum that barely has a good word to say about US aircraft, let alone any other non-British type?

Such courage, enthusiasm and perseverance; akin to missionaries. Almost.

If it offends you, don’t tune in – tune out !

There you go, fixed it for you.

I’m endlessly amazed at the gymnastics you, and a couple of others, pull to drag a thread back onto your one or two hot-button topics, for which there are already a copious number of threads.

As for tuning out, I presume you didn’t watch the Baftas, being that it is ‘a feast of incestuous praise and congratulation’?

The Beeb has form in being more than ready to dump anyone tainted by the ‘right’. See Jeremy.

Beadle?

They employ Andrew Neil quite happily!

If America votes in favour of Clinton then 1) a lot of causes she becomes synonymous with will be stone-dead in a few years and 2) at the end of her term the masses will probably vote in favour of a Republican candidate far worse than Trump.

I really don’t mind Trump. He talks a lot of nonsense, usually aggressively so, but I think he will be ultimately ineffectual. His critics who inform us breathlessly that ‘he will be the one to press the button’ end up looking remarkably po-faced at the end of the day.

No. It’s because he’s illiterate !

He was gotten in drink: is not the humour conceited?

Tw*t.
