    Unlike some lesser board software 😀 Key’s should automatically adjust, but check anyway by clicking User CP.

    They’re also switching off the time signal at Rugby next week.

    I haven’t had a console since a Mega Drive. I always have had a PC for the last 12 years. A decent graphics card isn’t that much more to slot into your PC. Given most have a PC these days at home, is it worth spending another 200-300 on a games console to play on a crap telly or really expensive wide, flat screen in the front room? Plus there’s all this mad hype, then rush to buy the new console at knocked-up prices.

    Games are generally cheaper for the PC too, in fact it’s cheaper now (typically £25) than when I had an Amiga (about £30-35). Plus the games I play don’t convert well to console. I got a lovely boxset yesterday for Medieval 2: Total War. I am presently having much fun t***ting the French with spears and crossbows. Apologies to all mon amis en France 😀

    Can they maintain the inflow of money and technology, or will standards revert back to pre-Ford days? I hope whoever the backers are won’t do a TVR or Rover on the company.

    MA, AAIB reports are published on http://www.aaib.gov.uk, click Publications then Bulletins. Hope they can get to the bottom of the performance issue. 🙁

    Good luck for the other bit, at least it was someone else’s fault. I assume both parts are still covered by the examiner’s £691 fee? I imagine two shorter periods of flight test could be beneficial – I know a few peope who have flown perfect tests only to balls-up the circle-to-land i.e. the final hurdle through tiredness. perhaps they relaxed too early?

    Hey it says here your school has a 56% FTP rate.

    Wonder if they are commutable for me? Having a hellish time trying to find anywhere without a two-month waiting list. Ahh he said in an edit having looked at local.live.com, only 3 more miles drive than the other place I liked.

    Correct, you have to be patient and wait (typically) 4-6 months for the AAIB report. That’s true for most air accidents in the UK.

    Ahhh is your boss doing it Y11F? How difficult is it to get CAA approval to do a zero-time? Ditto parts for the task?

    Something related came up in the Telegraph today. Apparently gardens were “threatened” by the same poor drafting.

    Went to Sandown last October and it followed us out of Popham. After breakfast we landed at Popham and it landed after us. So still very much active. Quite a low-houred machine according to G-INFO.
