yes it is but sadly its now a display piece, all merlins should be used for something. there should be more people building replica spits and use merlin engines 😉

my input (probably 10 miles out)

its a lot to do with wing formation, piston planes are usually configured with the wings at the front of the plane, where as most modern jets have the wings further back, so its more feasable to mount the landing gear in the wings (unless its a B52) so dependant on where the wings and main landing gear is, is also dependant on the aircrafts balance point to where they put the 3rd wheel.

sound logical?

thanks for the welcome, i’ll do my best to answer any questions. would like to have a look round or play with an earo engine. engine is an engine in my books.

the way i see it is he is MIA and its all we need to know, may he rest peacefully!

no not at all. both british,

i’m one of the best 3000gt mechanic/specialists in the world who are capable of fualt finding in a heartbeat and repairing said cars well within a dealer time scale, indeed i can cut dealer times to a quater.

companies in the states reconise this and want me with them. this company is no exception.

the US is rapidly coming out of recession by having or rebuilding industry. something this country lacks now its all been sold abroad, we only have a few major manufacturers, so we buy in more than we export. its going to take a while for the UK to come out of this. alot longer than usual.

i always have space in my heart to remember those who were lost during battle.

its double what a mechanic gets over here. see i could go work in a garage/dealer and earn what 21k max? ok its not double but its 56k USD PA, in concord NC so thats real good money because its fairly cheap to live there.

i could work for a guy called Ray up in Long Island earn $30 ph but its heavy living costs there.

i been swinging spanners since i was 8, i had a couple of years laps when i went operating excavators just for a change, i was earning good money but its mundane work. i prefer fixing things than anything els.

It turns the entire basis of gainful employment on its head. An individual works and received remuneration for doing so. End of story until the state decides it will take a percentage of the money to provide services everyone can use.

The proposal effectively says that the state takes all the remuneration before distributing a percentage of it to the workers. I suppose it comes close to the Marxist doctrine whereby we all work for the state anyway.

What the government should be doing, of course, is hugely simplifying the entire tax system so that it works smoothly.

i’m unemployed but i do not claim, the reason is i paid my stamp all the time i worked from being 16. i’m now 39 i been unemployed for a while about a year. the government should work it the same way the americans do. if your not a citizen you get nothing you get sent home. you can not even own a car without a green card and state licence.
here anyone is welcome to come buy a car and claim benefits moreso if you contributed nothing.

i may have paid my stamps since i was 16 but if i cant do it on my own i will not ask for help. i asked once and got refused. i will not ask again.

i get married on 30th this month then go back to the states to a well paid job, and hopefully in time become a US citizen, to me this country has gone.

so this country makes me swaer on a daily basis lol
