    Sounds like she’s leaving all the decisions up to you. Maybe you could give her, say, a week to make her mind up, and tell her whatever she decides then is final, ie no more prevaricating? A week “set aside” from arguing might give you a breathing space too?

    20% job cuts at work w/c April 19th, so thats crunch time, if I survive that then thats the deadline, if not then we need to negotiate temporary peace until I’m working again. Not fighting in front of the nippers, but the atmosphere can be picked up on. Thanks Mr Creosote, its a bit odd airing your troubles like this, then again it does let off a little steam posting from behind an alias (if that makes any sense?)

    2012 ..

    The end of the world blah blah…

    It passed the evening away, better part of 2.5 hrs though, it looks spectacular (which is easy these days), popcorn style movie so leave your brain in a jar somewhere and let your eyes be entertained.

    I flew in the Duxford Rapide a couple of years ago. I was told the flight would be 15 minutes, but it turned out to be just six minutes, according to my digital camera. When I mentioned this they were uninterested. Good flight though, while it lasted – I guess its luck of the draw as to flight duration. I once had a flight in the Prentice at Kemble which lasted an hour, as we had to wait for a couple of displays to finish.

    I had similar, we caught a headwind as we came around over the M-11, the pilot put the nose down to pick up some speed and landed after just one circuit. My son and I made the flight, muggins here left the camera in the car so we had no pictures. A passenger took one for us and offered to mail them on but I never heard from him which was a shame.

    That said, it was a unique experience to say the least and I’m glad that we did it.

    South African Shackletons were very much “front line” until late 1984 when they were retired, and IIRC correctly, replaced in some roles by Dakotas ?

    I was last there in the spring of last year and my son and I loved the afternoon we had there, I can recommend it to anybody who hasn’t ever been. As can Josh.

    That is great news about the FB VI Bruce, I think I’ve been to the museum 4 times over the past 15 years or so and seen it move along piece by piece, its great to see her up on her wheels.

    I think mostly because the OP had said his interest was in WW2 aircraft and it’s a bit of a struggle to find even one relevant airframe at the MAM

    Moggy

    Then again the folk there are so helpful and keen, they may pop open a cockpit or two to let you sit a while, when I went up there with my son, we had a good 45 mins in the Vulcan, then onto the Argosy and then the F-104, not WW2 but as the young folk say these days, OMG !! and F-104 cockpit… worth the drive for that alone.

    3 ****’s on bikes

    Riding 3 abreast on a single lane country road near Farley Mount giving me the finger as I couldn’t get my car far enough into the hedge to allow them to pass without deviating their direction at all.

    Still, the spandex was deviant enough…… nasty business…:rolleyes:

    a few friends now know about the current domestics in BSG mansions and some of the things that people have said and done made me smile, a lot, and bring a tear to the eye, but in a good way.
