    I think if this were to be done in the UK a bit of respect could of been gained. I would rather see performance related pay though as the way they are going at the moment we will never need pay them:D

    Sad news I have always seen him as a bit of a legend to me. The AC Cobra is still as stunning today as it ever was. I literally fell in love with the sound and sight(yes sound was first thing that attracted me) of one as a kid and still get excited to see one to this day.

    Here is a example of his work

    I am a not so young lad at 38, and I grew up on a diet of 70s and 80s comedies and still have a great deal of affection for them.
    I do not feel that TV is better of worse now but what is more evident is how talent shows and reality TV play too bigger role in TV schedules and dumb down the public. However this is supply and demand and the likes of Simon C are great business minds for selling this stuff to the masses.

    We still produce some great dramas in this country and some fine imports come from the USA and Europe from time to time that really stand out, I tend to think the quality of TV is similiar but as we now have some many channels we get wall to wall repeats and some cheaper made shows etc which dilutes the good stuff down.

    The absolute image of Mark, too.

    I was thinking the same.
    What a lovely find I hope OFMC can get hold of a copy if they do not already have one.

    Maybe the Spanish will lend us a couple of Harriers for a flypast, then again maybe not.

    If only hot air were water then a hose pipe plumbed into the Houses of Parliament would see an end to drought both nationally and globally.

    Lovely photos especially of the Bucc. Pity weather was not too kind at times, but looks like a great show.

    Its odd how the Olympic commitee has acted over photography etc, Its the type of historic event people want to have photographs of as memories.
    I went a few weeks ago to get a few shots of the buildings from outside(on the area that closes Monday 30th April) and overall was left unimpressed.

    As I see it we have been MADE to pay for it, were unable to get tickets for it and then they wanted to stop us photographing anything to do with it. its certainly not the peoples games is it.
    Lets get the bl**dy thing over with and get Londomn back to normal.
    In case you feel you are missing out though here are a few picture of the site.

    I have to admit I would love for this to be a real find. From the close up photographs it does “Feel” very real to me, but the distant shots bug me and they do not have the same for want of a better word reality about them.

    What we have so far really neither proves or disproves anything, but whayt I wonder on are
    1) If a hoax why would you go to such levels to fool people? A lesser effort would of fooled many.

    2) If real how come the years have not left it more damaged?

    3) Where is the pilot? the condition of aircraft would say he would of survived the “accident” If he survived surely this would be a registered wreck, If not has any efforts been made to find the poor soul?

    I guess if its real its a great find and if its fake its a great model and photoshop effort. Hopefully soon all will be revealed until then I won’t get any hopes up.
