    Would you like a 5 minute or a 20 minute argument sir?

    Well, what is the cost?

    Sorry. I understood it was ‘the bickering and insults’

    I think you’ll find the “other” forum was set up because of the disquiet with the way this forum was being run, at that time. One moderator (ex), at that time saw fit to use his powers with no thought or reason to or for his actions, thank-fully, in time he grabbed hold of enough rope and hung himself.

    If you look back over the period since his departure, it has been a period of reasonable calm, that is until today and this thread.

    The “other” forum is not an exclusive club anyone can join, but like here there are rules which the moderating team employ on occasions, just like here. I am aware of a number of members from this forum who joined the “other” forum with the sole intention of causing trouble, their accounts were removed without recourse.

    We are all passionate about our various interests, unfortunately those passions, at times, over flow on to this media and friction between posters is the result. We can’t all agree, it’s the way of the world, and if we did, then this forum and the world would be a boring place.

    But oddly, keep returning here to post, in a forum they find so objectionable.

    Strange that.

    Moggy

    I think you’ll find that “they” found the way the forum was being moderated was objectionable not the forum it self, however part of that problem self destructed and was removed, thank fully, the other, well lets say it is still there but has not been as prominent recently.

    I for one enjoy both forums and will continue to post here and there. I do have issues with one or two posters, but choose to ignore them to the greater extent.

    Ken Adam the Oscar winning Bond film set designer was a German national who moved to the UK in the 30’s and flew with the RAF in Typhoons over Normandy.

    609 Sqn, Snapper would be able to confirm that. He may also be able to confirm Ken’s location on a certain weekend in early July.

    I thought one of the actors in a Bridge too far played himself.

    Fairly unlikely as the film was made 33 years after the event, which would put the actor in at least their 50’s

    depending where you live. I don’t do football anyway, so no bother for me.

    So why ask then ?

    Festival of Speed at Goodwood on the Sunday, so should be able to get to a TV fairly easily afterwards.

    Nice shots Geoff, funny to see that the replica Spitfire is wearing 317 Sqn codes, as per BM597.

    The plane they leave on at the end of the film was meant to be constructed from one of the booms from the C-82. For some reason the stunt of “taking off” was considered too dangerous by the film makers, so a stunt pilot “Paul Mantz” was tasked with coming in low, running his landing gear along the ground and then climbing away to simulate a take-off.

    On his second run in and the second take Mantz was killed when he unfortunately crashed the aircraft. However by this time all the main footage had already been canned, so another aircraft from a museum was substituted for the remaining close-ups.

    Another great Jimmy Stewart film was Strategic Air Command made in 1955. Fantastic shots of B36’s in the air, and no CGI !!!!
