From what Channel4 uk news said there has been Arab link is now being investigated after a Arabic tape with Koranic verses and 3 detonators were found in a Van in the town of Alcala de henares where three on the trains started there journeys.

I think one inportant thing is that we are all behind spain and support them at this time,I figure the only way to beat these Terrorists is to be united.

Oh well would have liked to see Ray on there but as a show it was not that great really.

For pity’s sake, what is wrong with people? The bodies are not yet cold, some families will still be wondering where their loved ones are, people will still be being operated on, others fighting for their lives, yet others will slowly have their lives slipping away, the blood will still be lying on the ground, in the ambulances…. Yet we’ve already managed to start a discussion about who is or isn’t to blame? Spare a thought for those who have died and those who are yet to die, for their families, for the wounded, the rescuers. It is easy for us to apportion blame, especially those of us who have no connections with Spain, we can make ill-judged comments about who it was or might have been.

What started as a well intentioned news thread is already on the way to becoming a post-mortem, even before all those who will die as a result of this tragedy have given up the fight.

Kev i see what you mean,but i also feel its not wrong to ask who is to blame,this is no accident this is intentional murder and its fair to want to know who did it and it is eventually part of the grieving process,A friend of mine has hurt by a IRA attack and at the time we very much wanted to know who the scumbag was who planted the bomb,A lot of people won’t be going home tonight or any night thats a lot of families torn apart kids losing parents etc,Its fair to want to know who did it surely.

Don’t know about cans of coke but it works with lager after a few cans i have been led to spirits then i forget everything its powerful and meaningful,The cans may have opened themselves and the room definitley was spinning lol,Mind you i find my body only posessed for a while before the spirit comes back in a different incarnation if you know what i mean.

RIP to all who lost there lives in yet another evil terror attack,186 innocent people lost so far,I do wonder if its ETA working (if they involved) alone or something even more sinister like a pact with Al queda(or al queda alone?) it just does not seem to have all ETAs hallmarks and is larger than there normal attacks,So far parties involved with ETA are denying its them also unusual in my view they are pointing at “Arab Resistance” elements,Either way it show Terrorism is always there and these groups are very able to kill huge amount of us in one go.

I read an interview with Ray in Wingspan in late 99/early 2000. In it Ray revieled that it was his intention to retire to NZ & take one of his fighters with him for his own amusement.
It would seem that there has been a problem with the CAA in the UK with both the P40 & LA9, and as they are regestered in NZ I guess that it was inevitable that they wouls ‘go home’
Shame about the Corsair though, that could have stayed here.

My feeling is though that the OFMC will carry on and, hopefully go from strength to strength and maybe expand the UK fleet.

I wish Ray a very happy retirement, (he will be missed) and many years of continued succsess to the OFMC.

I half expected Ray to retire last year but i got a feeling he will fly for another season and retire then,I guess he would love to fly MH434 again here in the UK,Lets just see what he says this year.
I Wish him the best in the world when he retires he is a amazing man and he started my love of Airshows,He will be missed but at least he has passed on his love of Aircraft to say many people in his years at shows.
I expect the OFMC will carry on as well and hope exciting times will be ahead for them.
