    Is it just my age or has politics become totally cheap and depressing across the entire spectrum? “Comforting yet false”. I don’t see much evidence of comfort among the current crop.

    “….. it’s like reading a favourite book that once picked up, it’s difficult to put down”.

    Perfectly put. It is indeed. And I am now only an hour away so once I have found cameras and other miscellaneous items ready for a trip to YAM,from a pile of packing cases, I’ll be there!!

    Typical Grauniad spin. He said they could whistle for 100 million not for any justifiable and accountable amount.

    And so the public spatting and politicking continues. Just wish they’d all zip it and get down to some grown up negotiation.

    Thoroughly enjoyed Going in Style a few months ago.

    Thanks TA – superlative display. Dan Griffiths, if indeed it was him, gave a stunning display in the Spirit of Kent at Manston a few years ago.

    ” That is why we cannot be part of a political binding; a federation of European states.”

    And I remain unconvinced that all of the remaining 26 will want to be part of the proposed EU State, when and if it ever comes to pass. I think the opposite will happen long before federation. At least we got out before the rush for the exit!

    BM – along with many of your persuasion you hugely over complicate the argument.

    I along with many of my persuasion simply prefer independent nationhood to a nationhood subsumed to an amorphous semi-autocratic federation, which is precisely the openly stated aim of the EU autocracy.

    I fear the the blinkers are being worn by remainers.

    This thread is a joy and gets better and better! Bet you’ll miss that impressive Gallic assistance. One of my favourite aircraft being lovingly nurtured back to life. Can’t wait to see her “in the flesh”.

    What a lot of fun, Alan!! Thanks for sharing the photos – they give a real flavour of the event. Had I not been moving to the opposite end of the country next week it would have been on my list for next year.

    Wholly endorse all of that and have clear memories of that wonderful double act. But what was the cause of the rift which I think lasted decades. Did it break up the act or the result of one or other bringing it to an end?

    Ditto and until he reinvented himself with the dancing show he had had a lean three decades. Trouble is he always saw himself as the British Sammy Davis Jnr, but no one else did.

    Still he died, no doubt very happy a loved national treasure!!

    Don’t think so – mainly locations in Wales and at Pinewood.

    Mmm – strong winds will certainly give the Great War Team some problems.

    That would be a remoaner and the EU then!

    Well you certainly can’t dispute the inevitability of that had we stayed in to become a part of a federal Europe with more and more powers vested in Brussels. But thankfully we made the right decision.
