    Thanks for that well thought out informative reply.

    You know in radio controlled modelling and in particular some competitions I remember certain trim being applied to counteract certain forces or flying attitudes. For example lets say an aerobatic competition would require a certain mix of trim of rudder/elevator. I dont know why but it never occured to me that trim or trim tabs would be used in this way for racing. But having read your post it all makes perfect sense now.

    Also I had read elsewhere that memory cards had been found and they were viewing the video and that telemetery had been recorded in the pits.

    I might be inclined to take the viewing video comment with a pinch of salt because this might just be what the poster supposed the investigators would be doing with the memory cards. But cards have been found so lets hope they help with the investigation.

    One would hope maybe someday SH.

    But did I spot a hint of sarcasm in the post.

    In all fairness though there are some very good informational threads on here though.

    I heard it was a certain someone that abused the loo’s of late and they had to evacuate the building but I have been asked not to say.

    What I can say is it will be what it will be.

    Some nice new toilets may be on the way. 🙂

    No squabbles here David I was entirely serious in my post.

    No disrespect to anyone. My thoughts and feelings go out to all involved.

    As for most of the rest of your post I agree wholeheartedly.

    Andy,

    I am not sure I agree entirely with your suggestion and believe a certain amount of discussion could and should take place but I can see the point you are trying to make or would agree at least in part.

    Maybe try over on the RAF COMMANDS forum too for maximum coverage.

    Somebody there might not see it on here although several members are members of both forums.

    They don’t have to give to charity at all. Many companies don’t bother.
    Arthur, we all know that any charity donations set up by big companies are only tax kick backs that they benefit from. Other companies may be more involved with charity work and really I dont want to say too much more because I really dont know the ins and out of charity donations in tesco but with that said you just dont know why big coporate companies donate when they should be doing the thing they do best. Making money. Makes you wonder a bit. ?????

    IF I were say 6 months behind with payments for my house, then borrowed more to go on a spending spree,I would be classed as irresponsible, and rightly so.

    There is, drought, famin, etc in some Countries, surly these things should take priority.

    Sorry Jim

    but I dont entirely agree with this. If this were the case we would be constantly chasing our tail bailing out other countries. In an ideal world we would all look after each other but in reality that doesnt happen. Sure we have funds set aside for international aide and we borrow to help fund these charities or projects.

    If this were true we would have never have won the first or second world war. Or have ever made the discoveries we have made. All our research and trials for every project has to funded somewhere and either publically funded or privately funded it must and needs to progress or our time on this planet is worthless.

    Oh and I must be irresposible too then because while not in the situation you describe I found myself in a situation where I should have had no money but found myself able to spend a little more than I used to be able to. Now I am unemployed that has changed a little as I only now have state money.

    I dont think of myself as irresposible and neither would I accept that from anyone. Nobody should make that assuption about someone. I will say no more on my own situation but you would understand if you heard the full story.

    I think I knew that….:D
    So much for the fabled UK sense of humour….:D

    And I think I knew that too. lol.

    Only pointing out the obvious.

    Yeah I would think that his two comments would be a bit inconsistent but could be regarded as two different issues.

    One driven by a patriotic view and the other by an interest in foreign economics.
