PS – it’s Myanmar, not Burma.

not in my world it isnt,…..Who decided on the name change?

your friendly neighbourhood junta..without any sort of approval from the people or their legislator….

Even the US governement doesnt reecognise the new name !!

Teak. What about the teak?

Was getting to that……….

Well, this is a problem on the other side of the ocean, so I’m sure the U.S. has no right to get involved and disrupt these people’s lives or the workings of the government just because there’s an oil interest and the people are being repressed by a brutal dictatorship.

Exactly!!! but oh dear ..wait a moment….

looks like its too late SOC……

American Express , Lexmark , Caterpillar , Leo Burnett company , Conoco , General Motors , Ingersoll-Rand ……

and HEY guess what ???? The ” Western world ” doesn’t just mean he US of A !!!…

Air France , Lufthansa , Michelin , Quantas ,Lamborghini Tractors , Lonely planet quides , Rolls Royce , Maersk Sealand , MAN AG ,GlaxoSmithKline ….

and our Eastern brethren arnt snowy white either;

All Nippon , LG , UTD Bank of India , Hitachi , Daewoo , Cathy Pacific , Hyundai , Matsuoka Co…….

looks like the influence of the all important Dollar/Euro /profit margin has already reached there …so why would the US and its buddies NEED to interfere…the Western world already owns the oil …and it has the military in its back pocket ….

and slave labour to lay the roads and build the pipelines!!!!

congrats and best wishes…now the fun begins!!!

And poor ole Gaybo cant take a rest !!!

The lost and low on fuel Stirling arrived on 21 May and depareted two days later. Breakfast together? I wouldn’t think so. apparently one of the Stirling crew (Two RAF, one Canadian and one US 2nd Lt ) protested (you guess which one) at the freedom of the Germans at Gormanston and demanded that they be locked up. It is reported that one of the German NCOs mentioned in passing that they had planned to fly to Germanston what was their excuse for being there! With that they continued on their way to the beach for a swim.

Swimming at Gormanstown in May….birrrrrr!!!

Interesting as i remember it the story told by the participant was that he had been an officer based at Gormantown and had been responsable for the German crew when the Sterling landed…

Another more senior officer ordered him to stop the crews sharing breakfast!

Maybe time changes memories !

Why not?

A job for life without having to play second string to a knob like Clarkson?

Moggy

HMMMM suppose it has its points.

but come on… hyper active Hampster sitting behind a desk drooling over Vodermann?

dont think he fits the profile…he would go mad with boredom!!!

How about Capt. Eric Brown flying the Ju88G-6 werk nr.621642 from Gormanston, Ireland, after the crew flew it from Denmark 3 days before VE Day? He mentioned that while on route to Farnborough he was met and escorted by three Spitfire off Valley.

Was this the Ju mentioned in a RTE radio programme a couple of weeks ago?

Apparently it was followed a few days later by a Stirling…..the two crews ended up having breakfast!
