    there is a large circle of concrete on the MU side of the runway. Do you know what it was used for? I remember seeing it when I returned to Seletar in 2007.

    Compass swinging?

    At 4.00pm the police advised that the device was believed to be a naval shell…

    A naval shell? That was one hell of an overshoot … you can imagine the conversation between the fire controller and the gunners of the German warship shelling Scarborough in December 1914 …
    “over, down a bit”
    “how much?”
    “42 miles”

    Why not email them and ask the question:

    They might respond well to a suggestion of social responsibility and good publicity?

    Great article about the site and developing cable cutting devices,
    http://www.bbrclub.org/Tom%20Flack.htm

    I recall researching a fatal Fairey Battle crash near here, to fly on purpose into a cable must have been hellish test pilot work.

    Much of the work carried out by Johnny Kent

    I can think of cases where I would much sooner trust the work of a dedicated “amateur” rather than a so called “professional”: brian surgery most certainly being one of the exceptions !!!!!

    Anyone not called Brian needs to start worrying now!! :diablo:

    For the most part, these projects are …//snip//… let them build one and finish it ‘their way’. I look forward to seeing their finished projects. :rolleyes:

    So basically sit down, be quiet, don’t discuss anything or even comment until the final product is revealed, then just say how wonderful it is and be quiet again … :diablo:
    Might as well close the forum down now!! 🙂

    Its more modern than what they have and would be one less thing we’d need to shoot down by our Harriers, Phantoms, Tornado F3s, last remaining Typhoon (guns only, no missiles left) off the Carrier, from Ascension air refuelled by our tanker force of Victors, VC10s, last remaining Tristar (if we can afford the fuel), backed up by our elint Nimrod R1, Falkland islander with telephone, covered by SAR Nimrod MR2P, Padstow Lifeboat. We would then send a large fleet of ships comprising of Aircraft Carriers, Battleships, Cruisers, Amphibious Landing Carrier,, Mine sweepers 1 Destroyer (if available) and the IOW ferry, manned by the latest elite 2 Para 42 Commando Traffic Wardens, a group of fanatics who usually p*ss people off in this country, that will cause serious trouble down south.:rolleyes:

    How does it glorify war? We didn’t use the F4 to take the Islands back, putting a defunct aeroplane on the gate to an RAF base has been a tradition for a number of years now, does this mean all gateguards are glorifying war?

    Makes me smile Makes me laugh Does my head in:(

    Brilliant!! 🙂
