Who cares? Let them have their wedding. Some people have more money than others…life isn’t fair. Get over it.
Well said if anyone is stupid enough to live under the nieve belief that they live in a completely fair democracy, with an elected head of state or not, are just fooling themselves.
Every country has fair and unfair rules, taxes, and money being spent on things it’s peoples don’t desire.

Actually Bruce your post has just reminded how good Dove D-IFSB at the de Havilland Museum looks in its dayglo scheme, http://www.flickr.com/photos/36928008@N08/4708876035/
I think when RAF St Mawgan became Newquay Airport in the proper sense it rang the death knell for Plymouth. I remember the mutterings back then, along with taht and Exeter Airport the area is quite well served, although Plymouth business users might not think so soon.
The nearest to all white was the one that was at Bedford RAE. Had a rather stonkingly red rear fuse / empennage though!
Even that one (prototype XV148 – cockpit of which is owned by a forum member) was finished in the standard white and grey, it just had a red rear fuselage, tail and wing tips applied aswel.
As mentioned, Nimrods (as indeed later Shacks – W34 ‘Lulu’) were always capable of dropping buckets of sunshine, certainly in their Cold-War maritime days, I think the main weapon was the B57.
The red ‘N’ Nuclear commit button is on the control yoke.
There are some nice very early Nimrod MR.1 & R.1 shots on this Woodford page here, http://www.edendale.co.uk/ANW/WFD.801.4.html

Good chap, brrrp bah!:)
Looks like you’re basically right James, Gyrocopter was the name applied to the now familiar Bensons and Wallis’ types etc when they came out and have stuck since, the older type distinguished by their aircraft style fusalages & usually with short or stub wings (Cierva, Avro Rota, Pitcairn, DH C.24 etc) were known as Autogyros.
There dosen’t seem to be any difference between the theories on how they work, ie relying on forward propulsion from an engine and propeller with the unpowered rotors working and giving lift once enough speed has been reached.
There’s one fatal flaw with that otherwise fine theory Scotty, I first saw that same illustration in a populor coffee table aircraft book (as in post #4) many years ago, in fact I remember discussing said mythical beast with my Nimrod related mates at school!
Good point, the autogyro you can spin up the rotors while stood still on the ground?
I love the Royals, hate weddings.
