    Yep. Standard power source at quite a few airports.

    Guess they don’t know their BST from their GMT then.

    I think I’ll keep away from pets. She brought home a duck the other week which I had sent back. Not a popular decision.

    I accept the need and arguments for the annual cull. I also have no problem with the usual taking of some for food which I enjoy as well. The problem in this case appears to be a lack of judgement by the hunter.
    He was too young to be taken out by the usual cull of older deer, note he was still the top stag in the area. Yet he was a bit old to be killed for food. Also as a fine large stag he was of interest to the rest of the population for what he was.
    I can only conclude he was shot as a trophy by someone out to ‘prove’ he had bigger cohonus than the stag. Selfish. One person gets what he wants and the rest of us lose out on something as a result.
    The people who will end up getting the stick are the proper gamekeepers who exercise judgement on which animals to take.
    I would suggest that rather than change the law the person responsible is handed over to people in the industry to deal with as they see fit ie poor judgement, no hunting.

    Just another thought.
    If XH558 doesn’t have that much life left in it might they replace it with an MR4A?
    Might be cheaper as a ‘new’ build with a load of spares going?

    Hmm
    No Harriers and no Nimrod. So just what top cover are the Navy to have?
    I recall a time when Vulcans were being disposed of just to be brought back to life quickly due to an unexpected conflict which raised it’s ugly head.
    Would it be possible to mothball them instead just in case we have a need in the next few years?

    May I ask a question about point 2 please. Links to interesting videos have been posted by people who don’t own the video. The proposed rules appear to me to prevent this.
    Whilst I haven’t posted any videos I’d be grateful for guidance on this point as I do like some of the videos posted.
    Thanks

    There was a good article on the airport in Airliner World recently. I think it was the September edition.

    You might have more luck taking a ride along the coast to Alicante. Far more choice. All the best.

    Excellent programme. I thought using the brothers was great with one being a current serving pilot I believe and the other knowing how to get across a message on screen as well as attracting an audience.
    I’ve seen an awful lot of videos designed for our sort of market which are dire by comparison.
