Hey not bad looking at all, the one on the left aint bad either :p

Cheeky!
Letter is done and shall be in the post box when I drive back up north tonight. I hope I wrote the right thing!

FCx

I am actually!

I’m the one on the left by the way!

Mine is very boring sadly. I have no aviation background in my family so my first trip in anything other than a airliner was when I was a 14 yr old air cadet in a Bulldog. I am very grateful to the pilot (whoever he was) because after that I was hooked and five years later I had my own shiny PPL! My parents thought I was mad and wasting my hardearned cash on a hobby that is the reserve of rich playboys but I guess it shows that if you set your mind on something you can and will achieve it.

I have been out of the country for awhile so only just read this. Can only echo what others have already said. Utter shock and sadness.

My thoughts are with family and friends.

Well that’s two whole lines you have contributed, care to expound ?
(look it up. It’s just at the end of E, if you get to F you have gone too far)

Now there’s no need to be condescending young man 😮

In the cake shop I work in we couldn’t stop – it was too busy!

For Christ’s sake, this isn’t the bloody telegraph you know!

And your point is ? Did I sign off as “Angry of Tubridge Wells” ?
P.

You maybe should have done.

I don’t feel anger, I feel shame and sorrow.

The British people will fight anyone to the death in a cause that we believe to be just, for that is our way. It is the spirit we live our lives by, it is the soul of our nation, we are born with it.
By the same token we understand the tenacity of a determined foe and use that understanding to ultimately gain victory.
It is not arrogance by any means, but we know it to be true because our long history is steeped in it.
60 years ago the great and permanent bond between the US and Gt.Britain was finally forged in the victory over the Nazi rule of Europe.
A bond between two nations often at odds but with a common cause, a bond forged in the blood of hundreds of thousands, a bond of freedom.
That bond should never have been able to be called upon by the whim of two people.

Yesterdays dreadful events were unecessary Mr Blair…
You knew that this day might come once you stood shoulder square with Bush over Iraq without proper Parliamentary Debate and particularly without UN sanction.
You knew…. and yet you still gambled with the lives of British servicemen and women and the probable deaths of innocent people under the guise of standing up to terrorism. You have now cost many of both.

You Sir, should have stood up to Bush at the time.
By not doing so you besmirched and belittled the memory of all those of both nations who gave their lives in forging the ‘special relationship’ that our two nations rightly have.
Removing Saddam may have been desirable but was it ‘lawful and just’ to be involved in doing so ? By completely ignoring the rest of the World what did you hope to gain ?

You Sir, allowed the whole thing to run away from you, totally out of control under the supposed threat of WMD.
You Sir, knew that the threat of WMD to this country was rubbish yet still took this country into a conflict that the nation would have strongly supported and stood more proudly alongside our American cousins, had we felt it to be a just cause rather than the will of their current leader.
Our service men and women have been, and now The Nation as a whole pays the price of your gamble……….a gamble that made the events in London yesterday inevitable.

I call on you to resign with immediate effect.

For Christ’s sake, this isn’t the bloody telegraph you know!
