My brother is a big fan and has most of the titles (he’ll inherit another this Christmas so if you’re reading this, guess) I have borrowed them all and they can be pretty intensive. Good fun 🙂 I like popping people with sniper rifles :diablo:

Shame CoD3 is not planned for the PC 🙁

I got a response back about the fuel duty issue, but nothing about the PPS3 even though the emails were sent at the same time. I wonder if my MP’s PA has got muddled? I’ll chase up after the new year.

Hey Martin, thanks for posting. Good to hear about the move, I trust it has a good owner who will fly the ‘Bolt regularly and have plenty of fun in it? 😉

I have dug out the photos I referred to last year.

This one was taken ferrying the Blue Robin to Turweston on 21st March, 2002, taken in AKKI’s hangar click link for photo

Here it is 18 months later on the 24th August 2003 following the accident sharing a shed with a Rans S7 and Peter Holloway’s former Messenger (blue nose on left). Note the dust from next door :rolleyes: click link for photo

Here you can clearly see the damage to the starboard wingtip. Also note the registration and King’s Cup AIr Race number on the Messenger’s wing. click link for photo

All photos 1.2MB.

Registration change? But it starts with SE-X… 😀

G-AIDL is on Torchwood tonight

AVGAS is a higher octane rating and also contains lots of lead, so not much use for your car compared to standard forecourt unleaded. Using forecourt unleaded in aero piston engines runs a higher risk of vapour lock and detonation. You can use UL on certain aero engines, in fact some prefer it, with lots of research has be done in the US, but it acknowledged to be of little use for higher-powered, supercharged or turbocharged engines.

Diesel is a kerosene/paraffin-based oil fuel so is totally incompatible with AVGAS. Just like you don’t go sticking unleaded in your diesel car and vice versa! However there are some diesel-based aero engines that run on diesel and Jet Fuel. Jet Fuel is also a kerosene/paraffin-based oil fuel so the two are generally compatible. However Jet Fuel has less lubricating properties so in the case of the Thielert engine fitted to aircraft like the Diamond DA40/42, certain parts have to be toughened to cope. Jet Fuel also has additional chemicals to allow operation in lower temperatures, disel does not so will wax and solidify.

There was an article on AVGAS in the AOPA UK mag recently so might answer your questions in greater detail.

Sounds like the Installer may have a bug.

Know of any scenes in films from 1987 that it could have been taken from?
