duxfordhawkHe often seems to have a strain of logic in what he says, Trouble is he just gets too out spoken and loves the sound of his own voice a bit too much to really prove Relevant enough to Listen to.
In a way its a great pity that he is not a bit more controled when he speaks, The Government need a Out-Spoken Pain in the A*se really and for me the opposition does not really fill this Role.

duxfordhawkTony Blair is well aware of the situation that is occuring and from the news it says he knew that raids were planned before he went on Holiday, As to John Prescott he is Caretaker Primeminister really and would have to run any big decisions past Blair, Its 2006 and i believe things like the internet and phone’s etc are made available to our Goverment 😉 .
Personally though i don’t think today is about the Government or Politics its about how our Security service and police have worked today and “Disrupted” a Huge terror attack.
Lets hope the Airline’s can get back to normal as soon as possible and people can travel without fear again
duxfordhawkAs others have said i think the Current restrictions are just Temporary, The thing is that the Sercurity services have to be shown to being doing something beyond the normal checks, Something that would disrupt any potential Terrorist Its better to be safe than sorry really and thats what they are trying to achieve with such checks.
Sadly we all suffer further disruption and checks due to this but i think its worth it to beat these evil people, Remember today has been a good day for our sercurity services they have done a very good job, It could have been very different story, That nightmare is too chilling to think about really.
duxfordhawk[QUOTE=Richard Taylor]Terrorist plot disrupted = disruption = terrorists get their way.
Terrorist plot succeeds = loss of life/disruption = terrorists get their way.
😡
Makes it worse they are UK-born or at least based.
Evil Knows no bounds of Nationality, Race or Religion, But Good also knows know bounds of Nationality, Race or Religion, So lets not judge the fact they from the UK.
Maybe by the Disruption this has caused means the Terrorists have Won, But its a short term thing, If they had succeeded then we would have been looking at something larger than 9/11 and had deaths in the 1000s, Instead we are looking at no lives lost and everyone is safe, For any terrorist that must be a failure for any Sercurity Sevice that has to be a success.
A big well done to our Sercurity services and Police i think, They don’t often get praised, The work they are doing is clearly helping to keep us safe and i think we should be proud of them.
Not seen the Sky this Empty since 9/11 hope normality will soon resume.
duxfordhawkNow im not sure what to do. Security is increased in the UK for outgoing, but what about US inbound flights. I leave Florida tomorrow afternoon?
I guess the best thing to do is Phone the Airline company later today and get there advice, There will be a lot of disruption for a few days at least i expect, But compared to what we could have been looking we have been lucky.
Have a safe flight mate, These B8ggers can’t be let to beat us.
All Flight at Gatwick Suspended, 11.37 am
duxfordhawkSomething’s deffinatly going to happen 🙁 Damn terroists!
Hopefully The Sercurity Services have stopped something happening, News is saying up to 10 flights targeted and Sercurity Level Critical, I hope and pray they have stopped this evil act and any others that they may have planned.
We are strong in the UK and have dealt with Terror and Terrorists before and we won’t be beaten by them.
duxfordhawkCome on Ipswich!
OOPs Sorry Mate i’m a Palace fan.

duxfordhawkI was getting sent Emails like this one quiet regularly a couple of years back, They came under different names and had slightly different “Hooks” to try and catch you out, But with all of them you could smell a rat straight away.
Last year my wife got a Email saying she had won a Lottery in The Netherlands, Considering the fact niether of us had been to Holland or bought a ticket we thought “mm maybe a bit of bullsh1t going on here”, So it was time to wind the fiddling git up.
We phoned him to find out what we needed to do he said needed to give around £400 to clear the lottery win, He said send bank details and proof of who we are, So we emailed a bit of brief information and five minutes later the phone rang, On the other end was a African sounding Gentleman saying “its friday evening if you transfer money to me tonight you will get the money on Saturday afternoon after i go to Lottery office” We said we can’t afford the full amount can you phone us back in a bit we will see how much we can raise, We also said “Why don’t you claim the Lottery win and take half” he could not answer that, We Emailed him again a bit later and the phone rang again the same Gentleman was asking how much we could raise he would take in his words “Any amount” We said we could only raise £5 would that be enough?, The phone went dead, We decided just for the fun of it to Email him again on the Monday seeing if he would accept our offer. Strangely he never replied, But we had a great time winding him up.
People if you can makes these theives lives hard then do it, They are led by greed and will follow the smell of of a Pound,Euro or a Dollar to its death, Take them on that journey waste their time and make it hard for them to screw others out of their hard earned cash.

duxfordhawkVTTSCM…………….wil you please pack it in
You are really not helping matters here
we all know there is a problem but for gods sake let it be for a while until the muddy waters become clear.
if it all packs up and goes home, so be it………..
Moggy can this be stopped, this bloke really ain’t helping anymore by starting additional threads
Totally Agree with you, Sometimes a thread can do more harm than good, This project needs some good luck i think.
duxfordhawkJust had my fear confirmed that it was G-LENA never knew the owner but had a personal intrest in the Aircraft because my wife’s name is Lena.
Hope the rest of the year can go accident free.
duxfordhawkI will miss the Tigercat a lot too, But echo what many others have said here about being grateful to Stephen Grey and The Fighter Collection for giving me the chance to see so many types of Warbird flying that i just would not have seen otherwise.
It still looks like great times are ahead for TFC with several new projects coming through, We are lucky to have such a collector in the UK and will i am sure see many new things in coming years.
So its farewell Tigercat and No Guts no Glory and i hope they bring as much joy to their owners and the crowds that see them as they have done for everyone here.
duxfordhawkSeems we all feel the same about this special Relationship, So it poses the Question why have several governments signed up so wholeheartedly to this Deal, Is it due to the US effort during World War II?.
Would Tony Blair and his government me more popular if they had avoided getting involved in America’s battles and stayed well away from Iraq?, My feeling is yes.
Think its time we let Bush do what he wants and we stay well clear of it and the all the Sh1t that comes with it.
