I shot to Marksman standard the old .303 and .22 in the cadets decades ago, but since then have owned and used an air-rifle for many years and pigeons and the like are all that have suffered at its sharp end.

What a depressing thread.:( I know and have dealings with immigrants from many Eastern European countries – some are great individuals, some are a waste of space. Just like many of the indigenous British I encounter in an average week!

This is a veeeeery old story!!:rolleyes:

It looks as though we will know much more this coming Thursday.

“Thursday at Bournemouth is Press Day, and we will be issuing a press release that will launch our first major initiative to help support XH558 throughout the rest of this year and onwards into 2012. Our goal will be to celebrate not only the first flight of the Avro Vulcan in 1952, but the accession to the throne of Her Majesty The Queen, and to recognise the many great British achievements of her reign. It will really be a ‘A Celebration of 60 Glorious years’.

Look out for this release appearing in the ‘latest news’ section of the Home Page on Thursday with full details being available in next Friday’s edition of this newsletter. “

It is clear from a number of posts that the use of the words left and right, when applied politically, are of little help to rational debate.

Last day before hols tomorrow.:D Signing off now – see you all later next month!:)

What a marvellous occasion…green with envy!!;);)

May I download your pictures – for my personal use only, of course?
