    Dyson

    I would have thought a Tornado would be more fitting, isnt that the principal that these cleaners work on?

    RIP Peter

    I met Peter one freezing boxing day afternoon some years ago and was thoroughly taken with his his determination and drive, he had accrued a vital cross section of British Airframes and i feel it showed the Visiting public what a great aviation nation we once were. Sad news indeed and good luck to the museums future and security.

    First Spit!

    this may clear up a long held puzzle in my mind, I first saw a Spitfire, very low level at Weston Park In the early 70s, but im sure it was orange underneath,Is my memeory that bad? should i be taking more water with it?

    sorry i dont have the answer this question, but whilst on the subject of starting a wimpy, did they have a starter or were they fired off cartridges? would you need a trolley acc or would the aircraft start off its own batteries? answers please?

    Wellington museum

    The Wellington aviation museum is still very much open, however its always worth giving them a call particularly during the winter months before you visit.

    Telling the truth

    In response to the editing of my last post,I will no longer be using this site,if I am merely passing on what I know to be true then I find the sites need to edit my posts unacceptable. Forumites I bid you farewell.

    Fast taxying of the Lanc

    The Pantons getting the tail up on their Lanc isnt quite the same as the ‘Victor’ taxi from a few years ago, Many of the ‘fast taxi’ airframes get their nose wheels off the tarmac during their runs, its the same really just different! once a tail dragger gets a certain amount of speed up the tail will automatically lift as the wing takes on its optimum angle.The main wheels are still firmly on terra firma, though i must say id love to see the Lanc put in the odd ‘bounce’ shall we say?

    Nil Road Fund Licence

    No, No, These are cars which are registered as ‘Disabled’ and get free Road fund licence regardless of their co2 emmissions. Now i know there are genuine claimants, i dont doubt it, my mate Lenny is one of them, hes crippled up with Arthritis and associated ailments, but if you hang around and look at the types of folk who are driving these cars then i’m not generalising by saying they are certainly of a certain ”type” i wont elaborate further! Or to further my point, theres a chappie down my road who i know for a fact has a motabilty car but he actually puts a little white label over the ‘nil’ amount on his RFL disc so as to hide that fact hes got exemption! Happy to claim it, not so happy to divulge it!
