    RE: One Hundred years – Five Aircraft

    This has got to be a very hard choice between my favourite aircraft or the ones I think deserve to be picked.

    A Bleriot has got to feature in this post. Just great looking aircraft and besides a lot of people would remember the Wrights but not Bleriot.

    Also a Curtiss aircraft please take you pick. Some great aircraft made there.

    then a Halifax bomber as this is where my love of this bomber comes in. We dont all like lancs you know. Well thats a bad statement really I do like Lancs but I like the Halibag more.

    Then its got to be the Hawker Hunter just love them to bits. nuff said.

    it was a hard decision but I am going to put in the Vulcan I just love that big Delta lady. Only one of three of the V – Force but the last to make my list.

    RE: So come on then, Moggy, what do you know about Eminem???????

    Sadsack

    Songwriting ability???

    thats a matter of opinion. But as I do like some of his song I will let it slide.

    I really think that he just says what everyone else thinks about but is too scared to confront but other times its just plain crap.

    Congrats once again Moggy and point taken about the mercy of the cutting room floor.

    Moggy How could you 🙂

    Imagine beating a gorgeous 17 year old lass like that.Imagine you knowing (Remembering) all that stuff about Eminem. I like a few of his songs but really dont get why he is the greatest rapper out there??

    And you still knew more than me.

    Well done though mate. No need to get a ribbing from the rest of the forum had you lost to a 17 year old girl ( not that I dont like 17 year old girls) ( oh god that just doesnt sound right me being a bloke) oh well get the jokes in now while you can.

    Well done again but she didnt do that badly and to be fair you did miss out the (the) and (lp) out of (the slim shady lp)

    so really you got of lightly it could have been a draw if they had gone hard on you.

    RE: Need help identifying two instruments ( compasses)

    Hi Tony

    thanks for the info.

    It must be a post war Lanc it was fitted to and after 1952 aswell as it has the Queens crown on the Air Ministry plate.

    The other is older however because it has the Kings crown on the plate.

    The only reason I dont have the type for this on is that the Facia with the degree markings on it is missing so there is no type just a blank piece of glass in front of the needles.

    Regards Merlin.

    RE: FAAM Wyvern

    You said- However with view of the aircraft’s safety record the CAA wouldn’t allow it to fly-

    well why do they fly the Gee Bee. as its record isnt that good and is really dodgy to fly. have heard a lot from the pilot of the replica.

    also this aircraft killed the first pilot of the type and just about killed another

    so why do they fly it.

    Cmon guys I dont like this whole costs too much idea. To restore the Hali could cost as much or as little as they wanted it to. If Canada can restore a Hali then why cant we.

    RE: A bad day !

    Not the only giveaway because just in front of the tail wheel someone has done a really bad retouch on a horizontal line along the length of the tailboom just underneath.

    And another retouch just around the diver.And if you look in the surface of the water there is a ball like object which I suppose could be a float but it looks retouched.

    Just my opinion.

    RE: Your fav place in the world?

    Well as I live near Edinburgh I dont really rate it as a favourite place as I have to work and shop there so its a neccesity and I dont get on well being in Glasgow I just dont like it there but Some places in England like the Lake District , Yorkshire , Bath , Bristol , York and Blackpool are all great places but abroad I have been to Greece 4 times twice to Corfu once to Crete and once to Rhodes.

    I love Corfu because me and my girlfriend got engaged there and it was our first time abroad together. I loved crete just purely for the history and beauty of the island and fell in love with Rhodes the first time I saw it. I especially love the old part of rhodes with all the Knights of St John buildings and city walls. It just has to be seen to be belived.

    This year we went to Spain and to Benidorm for a change and we enjoyed it there and had a good laugh but I really enjoyed Alicante and especially the Airport as when you come in to the apron you see all the old wrecks and over on the side of the apron away from anything new sits an old Dakota with the wings beyond the engine nacelles missing and no windscreen and it looks a lot like a project waiting on a restoration job.

    Any takers.

    Regards Merlin

    RE: What would you do?

    Hi Geforce

    I may not be Bruce Willis but I sure would love his bank balance.

    I really wasnt thinking of that film either when I posted the message. But I certaily dont think I would like to be the Willis character as in the film his daughter is Liv Tyler and I certaily would not like to be her dad but rather someone else in the film.

    Nudge Nudge Wink Wink know what I mean.

    regards Merlin
