Ernst & Young
They are milking my workplace for a mint. Money is tight, times are hard, good people have been canned but we have the cream of the crop checking to see what we should be doing. Here is how it went today.
are you free to talk ?
yes, Thursday or Friday morning
I’ll book you Tuesday then.
No, I’m tied up, Thursday or Friday morning.
Ok, its in your diary, why did you decline?
Because you booked Tuesday afternoon…
and so on…………

New spar…’new’ Merlins…random new skins…new electrics…new rivets…oh my God, PA474 is a fake!!! :eek::D;)
PA474

It’s only a model…
SShhhh !:diablo:
I haven’t sat down and watched them but the latest episodes of Dr Who just seem to be based around what they have hanging in the props wardrobe….
London during the Blitz, Queen Victoria, to mention two….:rolleyes:
Keeping a close eye on thread drift here…. some of the scripts are (IMO) very good and can give you goose bumps (“Blink” anybody ?) but it gets very twee every Christmas when people come back for the special, Rose is dead, ah, no she isn’t…. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
With that quality and thought out script writing, “The Great Escape” could make a great drama. Location, not hugely expensive, cast, quite young (and therefore less expensive…) I still think its a better option than a big screen film that would need US money to make, US money means US stars to feature.
Totally agree, but keep the music:)
Maybe a TV series (4 or 6 parts?) with a budget for scripts more than a big screen film. A lot of US makers take in overseas investment from companies like Sky etc, which is why they can make something with an “edge” across a wide range from “Sex and the city”, sci-fi, Band Of Brothers etc.
BBC won’t/can’t take much investment which is why Dr Who spends a lot of time in Cardiff/London sorting out the Tyler family !
BBC can produce high quality drama going back to Edge Of Darkness, State Of Play, ITV….. p’ah……..
but yes, keep the music, my 10 year old has seen some of the movie and wants to see more….. so there is hope among the young !

the Oliver Stone biopic of George “Dubyah” Bush.
Not as smart as it pretends to be and not a patch on “JFK” which is (IMPO) a masterclass in film making.

Looking out of the ******** window this morning!
wall to wall wind and rain and the kids have cabin fever, oh and the wife isn’t talking to me.
with a bit of luck the day will be topped off with one of her roast dinners….. huge slab of meat that sits in the oven for half of the day and tastes like the packaging it came in……..:mad:

The museum is usually open on sundays hence why you found it padlocked. I don’t think where the aircraft are going is sensitive – they just havn’t gone yet so its speculation!
Sometimes the board can get a bit lively with speculation and comment and I was trying to be diplomatic, especially as Lasham is an emotive subject anyway !
Either way, I hope that they go to good homes, the Sea Prince and Drover are sought after and to my uneducated and inexpert eye, the Meteor F8 seems in good condition generally as well.
The Spy Who Came In From The Cold
OK, only half way through it, but terrific, Richard Burton, what a voice….. what a character….

is anything known as who bought what?
Or is that best left a while in case its sensitive?
There are a couple of nice airframes out there, they have seen better days but there are a few nice “Bits and bobs” in the shed as well.
the Auster has gone
and the F-104 is missing its nose cone, all closed up today though, nobody there and the gate and car park padlocked.
I’m only a few miles away and dropped in about 2 weeks ago, it seemed “business as usual”, no signs up saying that they were closed and a few of the guys were there in their flight suits.
The gates were closed but I assumed (often a bad move I agree) that it was to do with a large lorry with a crane mounted on it that was loading up one of the jet engines that used to sit near the Drover by the main gate. It was going onto the lorry for certain.
