That raises an interesting point…so what about those who do have a right to be here but who abuse the system and make a living from crime…?:)

Get them to repair the blasted potholes in the roads.

Living “down-under”, I don’t really care but, GEORGE!!!!! Guess HM got her way again this time.

Just as she stopped her son from risking his life in the Falklands, and her grandson risking his in Afghanistan? I think your vision of the interfering old matriarch is just a little wide of the mark.

The DM also failed to mention how much the pilots house was worth. Poor research all round.

Made even worse by omitting the age of the pilots.

In “The Mosquito Manual” reprint, for the F.II, NF.XII, & NF.XVII, published by the RAF Museum, for the 20mm., it says to feed 150 rounds into each ammunition box, plus 18 rounds into each feed unit, and connect the two with a spare round. For the .303″, it simply says to load 750 rounds in each box.

Not necessarily…..the last King George we had was christened Albert!

Albert Frederick Arthur George, actually, and there’s no law which says you have to use your first Christian name.

Edgar, once again you have waded in without arming yoursef with facts. I have nothing against you personally, but it is beginning to grate.. you remember suggesting someone look up the 1945 election result? Now take a look at 1950. .

I do apologise; I’d forgotten that landslide victory, when their majority went from 146 seats to 5

Also worth bearing in mind that in the 1951 election Labour polled a majority (48.8% as against 48.0% con), and secured the highest popular vote of any party to date, having again campaigned upon their immediate post-war record

And lost.

Martin was invited, in 1944, to investigate methods of escape, and he started with a 16-ft test rig, with a dummy using it 20-1-45, and a company fitter did the first live shot four days later. He attended spinal operations, and obtained a human spine for further tests. He worked out that the peak acceleration should not exceed 21g, and should last no more than 1/10 second; that the rate of rise of g should not be greater than 300g per sec; that the body should be held in a position so that adjacent spinal vertebrae are square to each other.
Because of this he designed a two-cartridge gun, which fired successively, keeping the acceleration in limits. On May 10th., 1945 a seat, loaded with sandbags, was ejected from an on-loan Defiant.

Which we (Churchill) then quietly forgot about to appease Stalin! Bloody disgrace!

I suggest you look up the result of the July, 1945 election, to see who was running the country immediately after the war, then ask yourself if we (bankrupt and knackered) were going to declare war on Russia without the help of the U.S.
