    Ta, probably will be Intel then.

    Am thinking of a Nvidia 7300GS to replace my Nvidia 6600. In the same vein with breaking what I have always gone with, are ATI any good these days? They used to have cards that weren’t powerful to Nvidia chips, sometimes caused PC resets whilst under load and had poor driver support coupled with a confusing website.

    Budget by the way here is eighty pounds.

    Are you going to level your gateway also? Looks a bit roughed up.

    They key here mate, as I have found, is to do the feedback with other chums who get “it” and you soon discover a clutch of themes running through the bank. Learn the themes and you probably can crack most questions thrown at you. 1007 is just too much to remember.

    Now I need to crack Performance and I may yet scrape through this term with passes. 🙂

    You and I DB can take our “home” airfields and cite an example each where those who seem to recently move in, spend time on trying to close the local airfield down. So you make a fair point. If you don’t like thought of any aircraft, perhaps somewhere else would be nicer?

    Back to my original point, many ex-airfields have been developed to the point where the impact has been far greater than continued use for light aviation. Most rural airfields by definition remain rural and so with such status serve to protect the environs in which they exist. My first ever airfeld is still farmed alive with birds and hares, whilst my most recent supports game cover and deer.

    What then is currently at Deenethorpe, how does it impact the community and environment, and given the supposed proposed development to a light GA airfield with perhaps a flying musuem, what conclusions would you draw playing devils advocate (or planning officer) from your impact assessment?

    ..or indeed anywhere 🙁

    Can you paint glass? They’re a bit limited on power anyway so the added mass would be limiting. 😉

    I agree with CF sticking around. The space they occupy would else be used for something far more boring and probably commercial.

    By the way, I know where there are a few boxes containing mint condition programmes from the 2000 Air Show. Some interesting photos including SIXC in Air France paint iirc.

    There’s always us commercial students left with our whinnying diesel engines 😉

    Aaaaaah DeHavilland (as Uncle Roger would say)

    By crikey, that cheered me up from doing revision! 😀

    What happened to ‘712?

    See http://forum.keypublishing.co.uk/showthread.php?t=62875

    I rather think a small development involving a few aircraft would be far more desirable than

    …a mass housing estate

    …or a mass car park with lorry transporters

    …or a mass warehouse site with lorry traffic

    and any other use an old airfield has to used for, apart from flying that is, since its active war years 🙂

    As with anything involving such projects, the procedures can take an awfully long time and with the runway size, you won’t get 737-size jets running scheduled commercial services.

    Great contrast there when shooting in sun after a shower, the colours really come out 🙂

    Thanks Jorgo – am thinking in particular of a bubble canopy that has a bad habit of reflecting light from all around the cockpit.

    I remember Hairyplane telling me to shoot through a pair of stockings. 😀

    Academics – this as you say passes some people by when they were a teenager at school, for example, because they were in the wrong crowd at school with Kev and Bav, or chasing Katie (and Laura and Nicky and Sam and Katie again…) 🙂 Whatever the circumstances, this does not mean you are a failure and there are second chances.

    Some people think a degree before ATPL is a good thing. Again it is not really about getting a degree but being capable of mind in achieving one. This applies to someone in my ATPL theory class who is 20 and has chosen to bypass that route.

    In the same vein you need to be able to apply yourself and remain focused at the ATPL theory coupled with a total enthusiasm for and understanding of aviation. There are 14 subjects some of which require a lot of effort to pass. There are those shall we say who do not exhibit such qualities and will come unstuck.
