    Well, I choose to live in the UK, I’m an atheist and I think our system of government stinks.

    Do you have a problem with that? :p

    I’ll stand in line to join you on both counts !!!

    Yes, I was the one who changed it. 🙂

    But why should any country show leniency to foreign nationals who commit crimes? The law is the law.

    Hear hear“, go somewhere else, abide by the local laws and customs or don’t go. Without advocating capital punishment itself, you should respect local laws, customs and beliefs, I wish the UK government would consider this when people choose to live in the UK and then attack the main religion, or the system of government etc.

    each to their own tastes

    but “Inglourious b*sterds” is not for me.

    I only lasted 40 mins willing my interest on, but gave up and read a book instead !

    Some of the junk on there reminds me of the “Hitler Diaries” scam in the early 80’s.

    I read the detailed book on it a while ago, there was (and I guess still is) a huge market to manufacture and sell “memorabilia” (with doubtfull authenticity).

    This canopy is not from a Spitfire, but somebody will part with cash for it based on the story that he tells on the website, sad part is that he isn’t the only one buying or selling (or manufacturing for that matter)

    they can be a bit grim, some of the footage is excellent though and you can’t help but think who does the script end editing ?

    I have his book Lockheed Blackbird ‘beyond the secret missions’ which is basically the Blackbird bible as it is a bit of a tome but well worth the read and it goes into great detail on how they built them through to how they put together missions.

    But if you want to know what it is like to fly the Blackbird Rich Graham is your man as his books are from the inside of the programme.

    It does make you think if the aviation industry can make the Blackbird in the 60’s what are the making now that we dont know of??

    I also have “Sled Driver” which is a bit of a photo-fest but very enjoyable. I love seeing the SR-71 at Duxford, its huge but also has an aura about it, its still hiding something !

    I have the SR-71 Operations in the Far east from the same Osprey series and it is very good, i will have to look into the other one.

    curlyboy

    I read that one in the summer and enjoyed it, I think there are more secrets to come on the SR-71 but this guy seems to do his research and lays out a very interesting tale, I’ve only scanned the new one but it looks equally as good.

    Which SR71 book did you get?

    Anything by Rich Graham or Paul F Crickmore are excellant reads.

    The second “Osprey Combat Aircraft” edition, missions in Europe and Middle East. Excellent reading material !

    Merry Christmas to one and all

    I saw the first Xmas stuff in M&S in August, the first house with outdoor lights strong enough to peel paint from your car on Nov 22nd, but now is about the time to start enjoying it!

    rental ?

    I showed this thread to a friend of mine who promptly snorted “I tell you, if it’s got t*ts or wheels you are better off renting”…..

    It could be far worse. Somehow my Mum got the idea I was a James Last fan! That was a CD that went straight to the charity shop!

    I can do you a nice line in high necked button collar wolly jumpers….

    then again Steve has a point, besides, my old mum still loves telling people of the time when I was about 7 and I bought her a REAL gold bracelet as it was the best thing for sale at the RSPCA jumble sale, so I guess we are even !
