    Also a F15E, presumably there to do a ‘Heritage’ flypast with the P38 (?)

    Isn’t that what I said ????:confused:

    Stop Press announcement:

    Quite a few Spitfires
    Some Hurricanes
    Some Mustangs
    Something from RNHF
    A Lancaster
    Corsairs
    Skyraiders
    At least a B17
    Some other rare aircraft that the punters won’t recognise
    … and a rumour about a P-38, anyone else heard about that?

    That should cover it I reckon 😉

    You’ve missed a certain pointy thing with flames coming out of the rear 😉

    I may be wrong however and perhaps he could have taken on the role of sniper, in which case those who poke fun better watch out this season, there may be a long list :p 😉

    I won’t wear my hi vis jacket with the target on to Legends or OW from now on, I think I maybe in his sights 🙂 on the other hand YIIF, why not employ him to take care of that Emu you’ve been having problems with.

    Walking home from Junior School and seeing an all-white Scimitar flying low overhead on air test from South Marston.

    Are you sure it was white and not a pale shade of grey ?;)

    Yes,I re-established this popular thread after Webby re-wrote the rules,and am very pleased with the number of hits it receives each week.Every-one who starts a thread should keep an eye on it,no?
    Apart from your previous posts for “On Golden Pond” and “Pond” which resulted from another time “we talked”,this is the first time you seem to have put any serious effort into replying on this movie thread.

    Serious, moi ????? Never.

    Braveheart 1995.
    The first was a very popular film with 5 Oscar awards,3 BAFTA’s,1 Golden Globe and the Motion Picture Sound Editor’s Golden Reel award for best sound editing.Great when heard on a good home theatre system.It’s not one of my favorite films but will stay on my DVD shelf.

    Winning Oscars, etc, does not make it a good film, it more likely means it’s the best of a bad bunch. It was that good, they couldn’t even be bothered to properly research the history and timelines to make the film more factual.

    The Lethal Weapon Quadrilogy.1987 to 1998.
    The first was OK,again winning the Golden Reel award for best sound editing.
    As usual,the follow-up was a big let down.
    Three was worse and after going downhill so obviously,why sit through Four?

    Because I had no knitting to do that evening and smashing my teeth with a hammer wasn’t on the agenda, I leave that to after reading one of your posts.

    Jack and Sarah.1995.
    OK,so sometimes us guys have to toe the line sometimes but wattya’ doing watching this totally chick-flick? Did your other half have the remote control that night;)

    Being married has one or two draw backs, having to sit through dross like this is one of them.

    Grease.1978.
    See above.

    See above except for ONJ in tight black trousers.

    The General’s Daughter.1999. Another Travolta let down. Should have gone strait to video.

    and that’s why I have it on DVD.

    We Were Soldiers.2002. If you’re into war films,this is about as good as it gets.Utterly believable.

    Far from it, full of mistakes and erroneous time lines. But give it its due, one of Gibson’s better attempts.

    So it’s been 5 years since you’ve seen a film !

    No, I just choose to do much more interesting things than trying to appear to be more knowledgeable and pretentious than I really am, just to impress the people who frequent this thread.

    Welcome to our thread.

    Goodbye

    Don’t be a stranger:cool:

    I wouldn’t want to be stranger, I think you have a monopoly there.

    P.S. Still waiting for Robbo to post something positive on this thread.Tick tock,tick tock.

    I think your call has been answered.

    Being pulled by my mother under a robust and heavy table. Mark

    Sounds like any normal Friday evening in Norfolk 🙂

    My earliest memory is drawing pictures of WW2 bombers and fighters clashing during junior school art classes and going to my first airshow at the now defunct Weston Super Mare airfield in 1972/73.

    I was standing right up by the merins being ground run and shooting them as they come over the hedge.

    Are merins any easier to shoot than Grouse, Pheasant or Partridge? :confused:

    OK, we have snipers on the roof now, I am told by one of our criminal lawyers that it is not illegal to shoot an emu that is out on its own.

    If you run it over, can you stop and pick it up. Or do you need to leave it to the next person to come along with a forklift ?
