Hi there. I’m a dad of a certain milestone age with kiddies that love their history thanks to my patented brainwashing techniques!! This ‘ere forum has enhanced my knowledge of (historic) aircraft considerably. Amazing really as they all seem be to as daft as a box of frogs!!! 😀
Yup, found that the high level was in full working order. Did my dad a power of good going there. Was followed by 2 guides listening to my 8 yr old son giving Grandad, Nan and Uncle Joe a guided tour of the exhibits!!! Indoctrination can be a good thing! 😀
JDK, thanks for the heads up. High Level (Javelin) lift is still out of order and will be tomorrow. Sure it won’t spoil our day out tho. Pub lunch afterwards…. tough at the top!! 😉
Thanks JDK, will do that now. I want to go first thing as although he is not in a chair, both his shoulders are hugeley painful and if there is a lot of peeps, then a number of knocks would be excruciating….. but he refuses to be housebound. Stubborn Sod!!!
dakkg651; Theres a pub on the corner, so you may as well bomb that in case I’m not home!! 😉 Would you not be better off waiting until the Jag’s are delivered, you could cause far more damage!!
I’ve PM’d you btw. regarding the address. depends if you’re using an A2Z or GoogleEarth for Nav purposes!!
Shropshires lovely by the way. Was there with my daughters school yesterday at Wilderhope Manor…. Glorious.
Back at Cosford tomorrow (Friday) to take my father for a visit. We were going a couple of months ago but after the (private) hospital nearly killed him we had to put it on hold obviously. Thank you NHS. Luckily the CWE has lifts so he can get the “full” experience.
With London housing shortages greater than the Cosford area, I wouldnt put it past Chancellor Brown and the rest of the dictatorship to sell off Hendon and move the collection to Cosford. The value of the Hendon site is probably greater than Shropshire itself! :dev2: Look at all the other places the pillock has sold off, lots of which have had there own threads on this here forum. 😡
Just put SkySports on as it said “Alan Ball tribute 2pm”
It was a 10 year old programme that happened to have Alan Ball as a guest.
Talk about cashing in. Bunch of Ambulance chasers. Should be ashamed 😡

Sad news indeed. From an era when they played for pride of wearing the crest on their shirt rather than the logo on their boots.
Always admired him and players like him; small, tenacious, never willing to give up, every 50/50 ball was in the end 70/30 in his favour!! (Same reason why I have always admired Gordon Strachan and the fact that I’m a shortrse myself, they gave me hope!!)
As Pete says, heart attacks/problems can hit even the fittest (remember Marc Vivien Foe?) but it sends shockwaves when its a world renowned sporting hero, they always somehow seem immortal don’t they? 🙁
RIP

Writing on her official website she encourages people only to use “one square per restroom visit, except, of course, on those pesky occasions where two or three could be required.”
She’s never been a Guinness drinker obviously! Half a roll every time!!! :p
Maybe she could use just 2 strings on her guitar instead of six?
