    I would love to see ‘Ascent of Man’ again – wonder if it would stand the test of time?

    Found a description of the control column on the web. Not sure if it fits
    the Navion’s, but someone may recognise it…
    “Re: Can anyone identify this aircraft wreck?
    Hey,thanks for that. No visible markings on this plane, and both wingtips and most of the tail assembly missing. My daughter has just chipped in – (she snorkelled it with me last August) and said that the control column was like a u shape with a bar across near the bottom of the u. I should have taken a picture of the cockpit interior, but no waterproof camera to hand. All of my websearch, and I can’t find one light low-wing single with a door in that position. A couple of people said that a fishing boat had dragged it into the harbour in its nets, but …. (and this is typical of Greece) nobody could tell me when or who.”

    I have to agree with Alan Sugar’s thoughts on football players…

    “Scum, total scum. They don’t know what honesty or loyalty is. They’re the biggest scum that walk on this planet and, if they weren’t football players, most of them would be in prison, it’s as simple as that.”

    It’s only a daft game – not life or death. How these cretins get elevated to their god-like status is totally beyond me, and for one I’m very happy the World Cup will be held elsewhere…

    Loads about it on the net – seems the low-wing, four-seater ditched off Meganissi a few years ago, and was netted by a local who brought it itshore.
    You often see stuff like that in Greece – I was diving there once, and thought I’d found a sunken hoard of gold coins. I managed to get one ashore, and it was a small denomination modern coin which had been cemented to the rocks to give the tourists something to gawk at.
    If pushed, I’d go for a Piper Comanche with its cabin roof stoved in…

    “…I went outside for a fag and he’s gone.”
    Just about sums it all up. Shame these cretins are allowed to pass on their stupid genes to a new generation…

    It’s snowing here at the moment (around 10 miles from Kinloss), and at 600 feet we have roughly 18 inches of snow…

    Saw her in a sad state at Pompey in September. For £2 million, future generations in the 22nd century will wonder how the government could scrap one of the main warships involved in the Falklands War – similar to if the Victory had been cut up after Trafalgar!
