    Isis state that their goal is control of the Levant, of which Israel is a part.

    The problem with lifting the blockade is that Hamas will then have access to better weapons. While I would also like to see an end to the blockade, it could only work if Hamas were removed.

    indiscriminate slaughter of civilians is a step to far in my book.

    For which Hamas shares the blame. They use hospitals, schools, shelters etc to hide weapons.

    The only way to resolve this is for both sides to stop the finger pointing, and acknowledge and respect the existence of the other. Personally, I can’t see this ever happening. If we have to choose a side, I would much prefer to side with the Zionists than the Sunni extremists.

    The great thing with Chilli is that you can put any left overs in freezer bags, and reheat it another time. (thoroughly!) You can also add pretty much any other vegetables you have to hand. I tend to put sweetcorn in mine, and sometimes aubergines too.

    A comeback tour!

    Part of me wonders how good that Wellington would look in Coastal Command colours at the side of WR963…

    With the exception of flying boats, are there any WW2 aircraft currently on display in the UK in Coastal Command colours?

    I’ve always thought that it would be nice if Sally B did a season in Coastal Command colours. 😎

    This Wellington would look great parked up next to YAMs Halifax. 🙂

    This is a test bed you can lie down in.

    I hope your friend is okay.

    While even the wisest off us can not see all ends, I believe this type of extremism was inevitable. We may have hastened it, but it was always going to happen eventually.

    Now all we can do is decide whether we let it happen, or stand up to it.

    …it’s a privilege to be able to offer one of, if not the finest, Harrier in the world

    :rolleyes:

    I’m sure it’s lovely, but that is a ridiculous claim.

    No. Whenever something is changed a proportion of people will prefer how it was, a proportion will prefer how it is, and most will just accept that it’s different.

    It’s therefore unlikely that you will be the only person to hold that view.

    That looks in remarkably good condition.

    Perhaps the basis of a future airworthy Wellington? Well, I can dream. 😀

    Am I the only one who thinks it looked much better before? As with many modern museums, the new one looks nothing short of an architects ego trip.

    The money could have been put to much better use.

    Christians have been ethnically cleansed from Mosul by Isis, and they’ve burned down an 1800 year old church. 🙁
