No, no, no, no, NO.

That is obviously part of Amelia’s Electra.
She secretly flew to the UK via a time-portal, had jet engines fitted to her aircraft, before returning to her original time and resuming her original course.
I thought everyone knew that?!

And about two miles from me. 🙂
I think I have photos of the plaque commemorating LJ630’s crew on file…

Moggy – You have a PM, sir.

Had this on Sunday:

Unless this muppet is familiar with a certain WW2 aircraft’s part numbers, he hasn’t a chance…!

My Antivirus system is AVG Professional.

My partner often wonders why I get so incensed at the utter crap spouted by the purveyors of fourth-rate toilet paper like The Scum, the Daily Heil et al. Having shown him this article (we have seen Sally B perform this routine for ourselves, on several occasions) he now understands.

I refuse to buy newspapers. (I prefer a decent, branded bog roll), nor do I believe the claptrap on the TV news, especially when they interview some so-called “expert”. Usually, following an incident, I may watch a news report, then I will visit reputable aviation websites.

…their transport to work wouldn’t get them to work, their computer would crash before they had sent their article to print and the presses would grind to a halt before finishing a press run…

Surely Merlin, that wouldn’t be a bad thing? :highly_amused:

So, this moron is taking Ryanair to court over “loss of sunlight” (good luck with that) and then he proceeds to fly with them?
Hypocrite.
Muppet.

Now he’s brainwashing his child into believing his bull****.
And who in their right mind would name their child Lexan? (Sounds like a floor covering…) Poor kid.

Should that read: “Would the BBC please employ a correspondent who is actually knowledgeable about aviation?”?

Often, while reading through my various newsfeeds, I see such gems as “The Prince enjoyed his flight in the classic Spitfire fighter jet” or from a story about a WW2 pilot who died when his Hurricane crashed (no, not that one), “The pilot was unable to eject from his stricken plane.”

And don’t get me started on the utter codswallop spouted by the BBC, Sky News, :stupid: et al whenever there is a major incident.

I’m fairly sure that I have a 1:72 scale decal sheet with markings for XB948.
There are a number of photos on the accompanying reference sheet; whether or not there is a photo of this aircraft is another matter.
When I get home, I’ll dig out the sheet and check for you.

As for the Salvation Army, I’d rather give my money to an organisation… …that doesn’t condemn homosexuality.

Well said, Harper. (Apologies – I altered your quote slightly!)

I do donate to a few charities (goods as well as cash); the rather pleasant young lady that accosted me in Derby recently was happy that hers was one of them.
