Please don’t flame me.
I have been an aviation enthusiasts since 1961. I offer no scientific support
for my views they are my own personal feelings, accept or reject as you wish, but please don’t flame me, typing this for public view was hard enough.
Curious about all manner of flying machines I couldn’t at first accept the
volume and frequency of UFO sightings as being of extraterrestrial origin. If
“they” had the technology to travel the vast distances involved, surely logic
would suggest their recon abilities and sensors would not require that frequency of mission. Then I began to read more and more books. I began to consider the possibility that perhaps the UFOs were powered by gravity and guided by magnetism, or vice versa ( I am still unsure which). Maybe the ones we see have slipped through transient anomalies in the earth’s magnetic or gravitational field and are trapped in our part of the earth’s spectrum, coming as I believe from a parallel existence. Too many people with too much to lose, ATC, airline pilots, radar operators, astronauts, military personnel for example have come forward, for these reports to be attention seeking. I believe that governmental and military interest started with a simple desire to help them find a way back,and to possibly trace and return others who may have strayed the other way (this I consider less likely to happen as we have yet to harness magnetic and gravitational forces in this way) but has since been overcome by a desire to obtain technological advances. Once the early decision to keep contact secret had been made it became impossible to rescind that decision, and so it goes on, we can’t tell the public because we never have told them.
I don’t have answers just thoughts and a whole pile of questions.
I have only one UFO related experience, in the early 1980s I worked at
Manchester Airport and struck up a friendship with an ATC area sub centre
supervisor, when we were both on nights I would visit him in the control tower usually between 3 and 4 am to share a chat and coffee sometimes he would activate a training terminal and provide me with a headset explaining what we were seeing on screen, occasionally telephoning military controllers ( Eastern Radar) to identify targets, one night a return was noticed out over the north sea near to the Doggar Bank reporting point heading west at great speed, he got his dividers out and calculated its speed as in the region of 8,000mph. What it was we know not.
It left our view near to the Isle of Man still heading west, could it have been
a meteorite ? I asked. Most unlikely he had seen many of these and because of their angle of decent they only paint at most twice or three times before they burn up or strike earth.
Your comments and observations appreciated, please bear in mind I have never stated these views in the open before just to one or two close friends.

If I had been in Massa’s car I would have slowed down till P11 then put in a very serious attempt at a Banzai fastest lap.
Effect 1) bonus constructors points to all interested parties except scumeria,
Effect 2) provide the grumpy one with a totally hollow victory
Effect 3) Job satisfaction. ( Pride and professional integrity intact)
That’s my tuppence worth.

Does anyone have a complete list of the aircraft destroyed when Old Sarum had a hangar fire on 16/01/1987?
Your time and trouble appreciated.

Are you looking for the difference between land and water operations?
Yes that is exactly what I was looking for. I thought they would be greater but not by as big a margin as your Lake Buccaneer figures would suggest.
Thanks for your swift replies folkes your time and trouble is much appreciated.

I have read many reports and discussions on the accident to AF 4590. I have as yet never found any answer to my question.
On 22nd August 1985 G-BGJL Boeing 737-236 on take off at Manchester Airport suffered an uncontained engine failure which punctured wing fuel tanks, causing a fuel fed fire which destroyed the aircraft and killed some of the occupants.
On 25th July 2000 F-BTSC Concord ( spelling intentional) on take off at Paris suffered an undercarriage/tyre failure which punctured wing fuel tanks, causing a fuel fed fire which destroyed the aircraft and killed the occupants.
Goodness knows how many millions of £s, $s or Euros were spent putting racing car type kevlar linings in Concorde wing tanks, having grounded the entire fleet almost at once, and ultimately sounded the death knell.
What if anything has ever been done to correct the similar (apparent) tank weakness in the Boeing 737 ?
Your comments and observations appreciated.

Many thanks for that.

The explanation of this pre-publicity is apparently to enable elements of the Taliban to wave the white hankie before they get blown up and/or for pro-Western sympathisers to turn them in!! Now that really is going to happen, isn’t it?
………………………….
And someone actually believes that !!
Two swears in one morning.

The BBC this morning news. Covering injured soldiers treatment and rehabilitation, mentioned TWICE that this was ahead of a major operation in Helmand province Afghanistan. Lets tell them we are coming FFS.:eek: Whose side are the BBC on ??:diablo::dev2:

Right up there with informing the Argentinians they were not fusing their bombs correctly in the Falklands war.

I want to swear at all those muffins that have bought £50,000.00 plus status symbol 4×4’s and haven’t a clue how to drive them. Fecking hilarious round our way.
