    Ah…you mean there’d be a charge?

    I was rather hoping there’d be a fee for the audience…………

    Well, I own a dictionary (some of the pictures aren’t even coloured in, by the way) and I’ve just looked up “racist” and “sexist” and neither was defined as “taking the mickey out of attention-seekers”.

    Listen, Mr Wierd, in the real big bad world out there (where the grown-ups live) there are people who really are discriminated against because of their skin colour, their sexuality, their gender, their religion and much more besides.

    Some of these people get hurt, some of them are mutilated and tortured and some of them die. For real.

    Interesting, is it not, that you whine about prejudice and homophobia and then attempt to taunt me with the childish epithet “Gay Area”?

    Your pathetic peurile bleatings about “prejudice” are a gross insult to those who suffer true prejudice, and you should feel ashamed of yourself.

    The “word on the streets” is that FCA plan to use the engines (low hours, remember!) from N616AU as temporary replacements to cover power-plant overhauls programmed for aircraft already in service.

    Once these overhauls are complete, N616AU will be re-registered, painted and will enter service.

    There again, I could be barking up the wrong tree.
    Or barking mad………..

    Sunday mornings seem to be a particularly busy time on T2 and it only takes a couple of late arrivals or missed slots (PIA, where are you?) to render the stand allocations FUBB. It doesn’t seem to be as much of a problem during the rest of the week.

    Apparently the aircraft in question was stored at Mojave between 9 September 2002 and 2 February 2004.

    Ah, don’t be misled by the US 757 – it’s destined for First Choice Airways in due course and has been lurking around at Ringway for a few weeks now.

    US Airways serve Philadelphia from Manchester, with A330s.

    Oh, I dunno. I think I prefer the new one, myself.

    The blue is quite dark, though.

    No, I think it’s just a trick of perspective and the “foreshortening” that often occurs with large telephoto lenses.

    Well spotted, though! 🙂

    No, I think she’s just (and only just) on the taxiway. The Concorde undercarriage does have quite a narrow “footprint”.

    Modesty preserved, and all that………. 🙂

    Is this in some kind of code??? :confused:

    Aldershot, I believe.

    It’s within reasonable walking distance of Farnborough, and there used to be a very nice Dakota gate-guardian at Aldershot barracks.

    Dougal, how did you get into the church in the first place? Was it, like, ‘collect 12 crisp packets and become a priest?’
