l checked Snopes, it is for real.

Snopes..check the logo out!!!!!

The virus warning is a hoax, it is amazing how many people like to peddle this around the net, before googling the problem first as said previously. The message posted bears a remarkable resemblance to this. Remember getting this sent round years back, seems it is doing the rounds yet again.

It certainly is an eye opener, having read the latest part of the story and the money involved is quite staggering to say the least, had no idea and finding the story fascinating. I’m amazed that you have had to fund a lot of these obstacles out of your own pocket, and wonder why, with all these shareholders there to surely help out, but that’s another story I guess. Look forward to the next part of the story.

After reading some of these negative po
sts I decided to pick up the phone and call Charles Ross at Binbrook to see how hard it would be to make contact. After about five rings he was there so I don’t know where you are getting your contact details from. He has had this number for a number of years!!!

After a long conversation, Charles has agreed for me to post on here.

Charles would like ANY aircraft engineers to come forward if they are willing to help especially any qualified or experianced Lightning technicians!

To contact him to help this deserving cause please PM me and I’ll pass on your details!

Regards,

Phil

Interesting, contact has been tried by myself but by using the email details on his web site, reckon probably others have been doing the same, using email. Mind you with the website being last updated 2005, Charles probably doesn’t look at any emails form this source.

But thanks for the information, has been helpful.

as previosly commented on, its nothing more than pig headedness and a refusal to admit that 724 is a mess. la never lost any engineers to aalo.i am an aalo engineer, and that is not the case. one bod from la is on the aalo team, and offered, he was not head hunted. countless help has been offered to no avail.it is acouple of idividuals that have erected a barrier around the airframe, through which they will not allow anyone to penetrate, and help.im sorry to say but the lack of manpower is a lame excuse.its totally self inflicted, which is why we all get so heated about it!

Fair enough, one la member to the aalo, where did all the others go and why? I can’t see how the lack of manpower is an excuse, without them has led to the present situation. Whatever the reasons there is no progress on 724 is in the hands of the owners and we don’t seem to get any answers from that source. I get annoyed with the situation just as many others do, but can’t see an answer to it myself.

When ever I do a system scan it says I have ‘tracking cookies’. I tried getting rid of them by clearing history and cookies but they are there the next time I do a scan.

Does anyone know how to get rid of these permenantly?

:confused:

What browser are you using?

I am slightly disappointed to see a ‘told you so’ attitude now that it is over.

I think we should acknowledge that the aircraft did indeed need massive support within the RAF, and therefore they would have still required massive support from their owners in South Africa, albeit on a different scale.

We should celebrate what was achieved, whilst mourning the loss of Dave Stock. They gave many people a chance to see the aircraft who had not seen them before.

As to airworthy Buccs in the UK – there aren’t any; pure and simple. No aircraft has a permit to fly, or is the subject of a current application, and so there are none airworthy.

My suspicion is that the Hunters, or some of them anyway, will end up with another organisation in South Africa. I dont think the Lightnings or the Buccaneers have a healthy future to look forward to…..

Excuse me, I never said anything about “told you so” I was just expressing an honest opinion based on experience.
