Some of us have other interests apart from PLANE SPOTTING and roses.
Obviously, if you spend your free time trawling the interweb looking for Word Association, answer – ask – answer, 5 word story, 3 word story, word game or interview the next poster type threads.

These type of things are on most forums
Is that most forums in general or just those you frequent.
I’ve just done a very quick survey and the following don’t appear to have any threads quite as mindless as the ones listed above:-
WW2talk.com
prune.org
12oclockhigh.net
rafcommands.currentbun.com
ww2aircraft.net (appears to have one only)
fightercontrol.co.uk
warbirdinformationexchange.org

Mindless drivel? What on Earth are you talking about? I really enjoyed playing Slingshot Santa… My highest score was 279.8 metres, so at least I’ve achieved something worthwhile today.

I’ll grant you that it is mildly more stimulating than Word Association, answer – ask – answer, 5 word story, 3 word story, word game or interview the next poster.
I firmly believe that this forum is much richer for the removal of these types of threads, probably not as active, but quality must be preferred to quantity?

Lads it’s not exclusive to the UK you know… it’s a Universal problem ….we even have them in the land of milk and honey
Thanks for confirming that Steve, I’ve just seen a reference to this thread else where on the interweb, where the author has made a comparison between the ignorant gits in the UK (as if it is exclusive to the country) and the people who frequent this forum. As he is based in New South Wales, thanks to you his observation has been blown out of the water. 🙂

I have a short obit somewhere that simply states that he died in hospital after a few weeks illness.
BTW, as you probably know, while AOC 10 Group he presented your avatar to the squadron concerned.

Thanks Niall,
Yes, been transcribing the Squadron diary and cross checking some of the details with Woodward’s letters. It’s all falling into place gradually.
That looks distinctly like Mr H Cook driving the tug 🙂
Thanks, I have a copy of cover of Darkness and will have another look.
I am trying to establish when 600 Sqn’s Blenheims were first equipped with radar, as I had written September 1939 in an account that I have been drafting, however it now appears that I was wrong (should have asked my wife, she’s usually right :D), and it should have been September 1940.
The PT one hadn’t arrived yet considering I sent that by recorded delivery on Wednesday and the FP one by normal mail yesterdsy, it’s incredible and shows the PO to be what I have suspected for a long time, crap !!!!
