victor tango. I can answer that. In Bristol we have various community aid groups for various groups Like Somali Community aid and others for Pakistani’s and so on. These organisations are funded by Bristol City Council so that they can get their entitlements housing and services, in extreme cases even sue the Council that provides the funding. The people that work in these centres are extremely switched on. How do I know? Up to four years ago I used to sell photocopiers and had some of these organisations as my customers.

This one Jim?

I have an agenda. I want to know what UKIP plans to offer people with disabilities. I am also a disabled pensioner who is entitled to and claims certain benefits which are ring fenced by the Tories(so they say) Milliband will probably promise to increase it (with phantom money) and Clegg who cares he is a dead man walking.
Farage like him or not has been misquoted

I quote Bob a few posts ago
once again his words are twisted by the media – his use of the word “corner” has been leapt on to suggest they should be forced to sit a corner, facing the wall, with pointy hat bearing a big “B” (for Breastfeeding), rather than what I suspect he meant, which was in a part of the restaurant which offered some ‘privacy’ to the mother.

A perfectly reasonable request from a Gentleman who suggests respecting a lady’s dignity.

Mountains out of molehills or should that be mammaries? (fun bags to any Sun reader)

I must admit to rather liking the new look Aeroplane monthly although modern civil aircraft do bore me. I would rather the early days of air travel. As for Flypasts cover of a B17 as a tribute to Bomber Command what the blazes were they thinking of.
I buy both publications each month but Aeroplane was the winner to me this month(sorry better put current edition before I confuse myself and wonder if I enjoyed Christmas).

Barra its easy just contact a company like this

I am sure that if they sack a few more staff at the FAAM they could afford it!

Keep your chin up Bill, whatever evil backstabbers that are about have less support than you do as we on this forum support you and your team 100% and as you know there are a lot of us. Come on forumites write to your or the local MP’s in the area and make a noise about it.(don’t forget there is an election coming up soon and votes count!)

A hundred or so posts on buried aircraft unless you lock it this will run and run!

Its a photo of Humphrey sans blades covered in dust looking very forlorn

Slight thread drift but still abut FAAM
Humphrey has been banished to DCAE Sultan and seems to be in bad condition. Hopefully its there for restoration but in the light of this thread one wonders

Wessex HAS.3 (XP142)

Falklands War History

Humphrey is one of the most famous aircraft of the Falklands Conflict and was the helicopter stationed aboard the destroyer HMS Antrim. Antrim was one of several ships sent to retake the Islands of South Georgia, as part of Operation Paraquat.

On the 21st April Humphrey led two other Wessex HU.5 helicopters onto the Fortuna Glacier to drop Special Forces troops with orders to observe Argentinean positions at Grytviken. The weather was appalling and deteriorated, forcing the troops to request evacuation. Using its radar to guide them through the storm Humphrey led the helicopters back to collect the troops. Blizzard conditions caused the other helicopters to crash as they tried to take off from the glacier. Humphrey made a return trip to rescue all the troops and crew. On the 23rd April Humphrey was back in action, locating and retrieving more Special Forces troops from their disabled boat.

The Argentinean submarine, Santa Fe, was reported in the area. On the 25th April Humphrey was sent out on patrol and spotted the Santa Fe on the surface. Humphrey’s crew attacked with depth charges damaging the submarine. Helicopters from other ships joined the attack with torpedoes and AS.12 missiles, causing Santa Fe to be abandoned.

By May Antrim had joined other ships to assist with the landings on the main Falkland Islands. She was attacked by Argentinian jets that strafed her with their canons. Humphrey was damaged by splinters from the shells, making many holes that are still visible. These holes were patched with tape and Humphrey carried on flying.

Still back to the thread now but one can only wonder who the hell is running the museum!
