    Hi Tornado64….Thanks for replying and you were in the area of time give or take the odd year or two.:)Zebra tailed F3 was courtesy of a tanker flight in 1990 and the sharks machine taken at Barton, Nr Manchester could have been the same year or the one after.
    .Cheers.John.B

    yep i’d say 90 was spot on , i thaught the sharks machine was shot at barton as i shot one pretty simmilar durring prepping for display and the red zebra f3 was 90 as you say

    i misjudged by a year because i thaught i was still working in microbiology as a friend i went to the show with worked with me there

    however at that time i’d opted for outdoor work and was working as a local authority dog warden by then

    “i could scan and display my numourous certificates obtained for working in the field , including first aid ( passed 98% ) customer care city and guilds , health and safety , drugs awareness , handling agression , racial awareness , disability awareness , and a whole host of other team building exercises”

    But for all of that you are still intolerant of the opinions of others aren’t you?

    as said before only to those who seem to enjoy constant niggling and the last word !!

    “we were on the streets , breaking up fights , attending to o.d’s , giving first aid , chatting , writing reports , girls that are abused who wont go home or talk to social workers , people who have lost fammilys ‘ drunks , mentaly ill”

    Might one ask just who ‘we’ are? Because from reading the above you appear to have been International Rescue. Social working Paramedic Police Officers who offer a little psychiatric nursing on the side?

    [COLOR=”red]we patroled in pairs , predecessors to todays pcso’s some law training was actualy done through the police at the local police station such as theft laws [/colour]

    “a lot of comments on here show how little folks do actualy realise what goes on on the streets around them”

    In a previous life I saw my share of what happened to young people in the situations you describe.

    sorry but previous is a far removed problem from todays drug culture dealing with hepatitis risks for one and pulling drug users who may well have sharps concealed it was far from unusual to discover drugs users shooting up in public places often not 1 munuite away from shopping crowds
    ]”i live in a reasonably well off area it opened my eyes wide to the reality of street life when taken into an area they lived in an old disused asbestos factory ( they weren’t worried about the asbestos , they didn’t foresee living that long ) and these are people in thier 20’s” [/B]

    Didn’t open your front door to them though.

    don’t for one second deny it , if something is lying round and has a saleable value ten minuites later it is in cash generator and the proceedes in a vien

    “as i said you won’t like it when told but middle class hippy social workers who’s only wory in life was where to spend thier gap year from uni

    are the last people they want to see ( or indeed get help from )

    mostly because thier clueless interferance has usualy led to them being there in the first place !!”

    Which clearly points out that you have no idea of social work or indeed social workers.beg to differ one of my best friends is one going that way from occupational therapy !! and i constantly have the argument and when it comes deep down there is some agreement !!

    “you can take as many cosy uni exams as you want when they turn round and refuse help as they say ” because you don’t understand ” they have hit it bang on the head !!”

    None of this is as simple as you would have us believe Sometimes, “because you don’t understand” really means because you don’t understand in the way I would like you to.

    “would you trust a spinster or bachelor for giving marriage guidance”

    You told us before that you were an aircraft engineer. Would YOU trust an aircraft engineer to be carrying out social work?

    Regards,again there are many forms my engineering background came from keen eyes and a knowledge gleened from being braught up in an engineering family whilst not passing exams i could cheerfully fail supposedly educated guys work because none had the I.Q. to ask why is this casting porus and do a simple indicator test on it bfore machining it !!

    parts worked on include turbine blade tooling for rr trent engine hardening process after spark erosion machining
    tornado engine bearings and a whole host of other parts from aerospace sub con factorys also worked on air compressors for the m.o.d. sub programmes

    this is what can realy annoy some i don’t considder myself the best educated ( i made the best out of a ****ty hand in life

    ironicaly one of my friends spells worse than me yet he has been in charge of fifty suposedly educated blokes because even with bad spelling and grammar he could run rings round them engineering

    a reason he now has his own ( expanding in recession ) international company , i had a hand in it so i now rareley pay for a meal out or good wine it was an idea that was only going to improve in recession !!

    so never judge a book and all that !!

    You are taking all of this far too personally, tornado64.

    Chill out a wee bit, and stop lecturing people about whose lives and experiences you know next to nothing.

    Cheers

    GA

    accepted but others who shall remain nameless should also accept that others , strange as it may seem to them ,, may have a little more knoledge than giving the odd little thing or speaking for ten minuites

    there’s one lad i have talked to regularly for years

    the only thing that will get him off the streets is his wife and kids back

    it is 99 % positive it aint gonna happen

    catch 22 , your move !!

    we were not sat in a nice cosy office or a nice cosy house or hostel

    they slept in a sea of hyperdermics one must have struggled for a human one and robbed the vets as there was a horse hyperdermic ( god knows how they managed , but needs must )

    The Swastikas look do like they’ve been oversized for a movie.
    Nothing to do with the thread, but I found this amazing shot of a T6 aerobatic team called ‘The Flying Lions’ – they must have had fine height judgement…
