    I cant believe no one has suggested the Scottish Aviation Bulldog. Aswell as the current Grob as its these 2 aircraft that many future pilots learn to fly on.

    I think it might be wise if they were to at least research the current language translators currently in the country and employ a few more just in case. I mean not just to deal with police issues but to deal with enquiries etc.

    As of right now not quite finished yet but reading Finding the Few.

    Really enjoying it. Thanks Andy.

    Now finished it. Must get my own copy as I had a friends copy.

    As long as the firing order keeps to a resonable opposite effect order (there are a few exceptions) then the engine will run. The firing order is designed to get the smoothest running and optimal performance out of the engine. Basically ballancing the engine so it does not shake itself apart.

    There are a number of combinations an engine can run with but not all of them would perform well. There are also other things to consider like cams and valves etc. Changing one aspect of the sequence causes an effect on the rest of the comonents in the chain. Some would either need to be modified and changed entirely.

    Creaking door,

    I agree with your sentiments entirely. I was just trying to convey a scene from a recent ish conflict where no prisoners were going to be taken. I was challenged on the matter and I have said what I can and will now have to leave it at that. Its not for me to tell the full story as I was not there on the ground to witness it. My NCO was a very open honest man. He loved the army and only wanted his new recruits to fully understand what the were getting themselves into. He was a man I admired very much and would trust him 100% without hesitation as I would the other NCO and our officer but him more than anyone.

    I did see the pictures of the events.
    I did get told the story.
    I have no doubt about its authenticity.
    I was not on the ground when it happened.

    BUT

    I never ever had any reason to doubt what I was being told and I still dont.

    I am not asking anyone to believe what I have said and asking for proof isnt going to get any other than the information I have given above.

    I suppose the same could be said for all the Red Baron and Douglas Bader stories out there how can you believe any of them. 1 person remembers 1 thing and another remembers it a little different but the evidence say something else.

    And no you will never see proof. So perhaps now its time to simply forget this story.

    Lets just remember those who died and gave their lives for their respective countries.

    Nope not him.

    I admit to having to look up that name though as I wasnt sure who you meant. But I can state that it certainly wasnt him.

    Why is it people have such a hard time thinking that our troops arent anything other than whiter than white.

    I stand by my statement.

    How tall are you going to build your wall?

    Will we need passports to enter your kingdom?

    Could we deport David Coulthard?

    No 1 we dont need a wall. It was the Romans who built one to keep us out. 🙂

    No 2 Hmmmm No Passports I dont think causes too much hassle. You can place machine gun towers far cheaper than you can process passports so maybe that is the way forward.

    No 3 If you like we really dont mind but doesnt he live in Monaco?

    And as for Empires thats when Britain really was Great. When she had a sense of pride in their Empire. Misguided or not in taking part of the Empire over it was a very good time for this country. It only started to fall apart when we started to give it back.
