Mr. Tipsy – are you aware of the design with a Niper fuselage and a low wing. IIRC it is the Metisses CP.1 The UK one is G-BVCP.

BM I guessed the man in the jumper was your father. 🙂

Balham, with its ever changing grand vista of lights…

…red, red and amber, green. 🙂

Slightly off thread – ok long way off – but I have Balham on vinyl at home. A brilliant piece by just one man.

It’ll be great to see a Seafire in the UK. The Stateside one made me envious we didn’t have one here. Well done all involved especially Mark12 for saving her in the first place.

Do you remeber when TV used to finish about mid-night? They had to put good stuff on as they had to fight for the audience over a shorter time. Now TV is 24 hours and they can fill it with crud interspersed with the odd good bit as teh audience is also 24 hours.
Perhaps society is dumbing down too. Just look at the obsession with “celebrity” and a good 90+% aren’t even close. We have wall to wall reality shows and clones of any slightly good idea.
I’ve not seen the schedule for Christmas ’05 and the trailers I’ve seen don’t make me feel like watching anyway. I’ll be playing with the kids instead I think thank you.

Indeed all the best chap.
Enjoy the day.

These countries maybe good at building cars but there are a lot of British engineers involved too PLUS Britain is seen to be the place for car designers…

It all depends on what your benchmark is that you are comparing things to too.

You could argue the Russians are good too as despite how crude in finish some of their products are they work and work well for ages. Everyone knocks Lada cars of old but they appeared solid and to last.
Have you ever compared the finish on a Mig29 as opposed to an F-16. The panels are crude by comparison and yet the MiG is an agile aircraft.

It is horrendous. How can you have a nativity play which is, by its very nature, about Jesus’s birth and not mention a religious aspect to it? Surely it ceases then to be a nativity.
The other bit that gets me is that the other religions/beliefs that people think they are not offending really don’t appear to mind and by taking actions like this these so called do gooders are actually making the prejudice worse.

As for the video camera business don’t get me started. Paedophillia is not new and what makes the powers that be not think that such things have been going on before? It makes my blood boil at the stupidity of the “authorities” and their so called protective steps. Utter CR@P!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bl00dy PC crowd need to be put against a wall and shot. (except probably a waste of good bullets!)

Sorry rant over – for now anyway.

Sad news. G-WLLY was a regular at Heli-days and probably the crew too. RIP gentlemen
