Aha!

It all comes back to me (said the sailor as he peed into wind) 😀

Possible as stupid as the fake bomb platend by another reporter before the Olympics. It did contain some wire, some cables and some nails. I mean if they would have removed all that from the site, how on earth should they ever finish the buildings ??

We had a simliar case in Germany i which a man was able to smuggle a packet on knead (to simulate platic explosives) onto a plane. However I´m not sure how you would destroy a plane using knead. “Everybody freeze I have some knead. Everybody who does not comply will be hit by deadly pellets of hand rolled knead bullets !!” Doubt it works.

Eh? :confused:

What on earth is knead?

Technically your wrong Skypilot62 as Penalty points is NOT a conviction in the UK. If you loose your licence by penalty points this again is NOT a conviction but if you loose your licence through the court that is a conviction.

Not entirely wishing to enter into the finer points of legal discussion but….

I think you’ll find that the distinction I was making was that a conviction is not jail time only. The law about driving penalties is a whole seperate ball game and I was never a traffic plod, just a beat bobbie.

For example, you CAN be convicted for dangerous driving AND get penalty points as part of your “sentence”. You can get caught speeding and receive a fixed penalty and 3 points without recording a conviction. The law as they rightly say, is an ass!

Oh well, perhaps me ole typping skulls arn’t wot thay uzed too bee! 😉

As an ex-BD employee also… the EMB145 has to have 2 cabin crew in the UK dependant on how many rows back down the aircraft have been used. Its all about the fact it has nearly 18 rows of seating. We were also told it was 2 crew operation because of the shout commands not being heard at the back in an emergency situation!

Whiskey Delta – We don’t have a pax seat removed as such, the rear jump seat is still in front of the Lav door, much like your US version I imagine? The reason why the BD and BA models have 49 seats is the closet at the front is where you probably have seat 1A.

Just to throw more spanners in….

Not all BA EMB-145’s are 49 seaters. The ex-Brymon ones are 50 seaters.

It’s all fairly irrelevant anyway – I read somewhere that 87% of all statistics are made up. 😉

I don’t think the male Crew had to wear the G-strings did they? Perhaps they did – sex discrimination otherwise!

Perhaps they could use some nice classical music to set the mood “Aria in G (String)”

Just to add 2d’s worth….

It is indeed a pity the collection will probably be broken up but perhaps the family don’t know anyone to have offered it to?

But isn’t it more of a pity that we have lost a greatly dedicated enthusiast. Surely the kit for sale is testament to that? At the end of the day it is inanimate metal, Gordon Howell was flesh and blood. Of course we can’t change what’s happened and we all wish to preserve what he started but life is money talks – Dougie Arnold anyone? I for one wish Graham Adler well if he succeeds in all his bids, or whoever buys it. Of course, Mark 12 is spot on, “Beware the sniper!”

My other great sorrow is I don’t have the dough to buy it all myself!
