You joined in November 2007? I’ve been here for around 6 years at a guess and in that time have seen numerous instances where people tar all with the same brush. “All travellers are scum.” “All thieves should have their hands chopped off.” “I’d give ’em a good kicking.” “Deport them.” These are the very same people who would require the full protection of the Law and the term innocent until proven guilty, until it’s someone else then they’re fair game. The discrimination that pours out of the mouths of so called educated people just has to be seen to be believed. They pour forth all kinds of bile and vitriol. Yet these are the same people who would never dream of volunteering to do a stint as security, or to join the Police, they just sit back and spout.

I’m so sorry I give a crap I really am, I’m so sorry I care enough to get upset over these matters, for your information I do alot of positive stuff however I do so quietly and without the need to broadcast it all on the web.

When I pass threw the local graveyard (4 or 5 days a week) I clean up any litter I come across in the place return any items back to the correct graves, all done from my own back simply out of respect.

Also If I walk past the local war memorial I will remove any litter – and put back any wreathes that some idiots have usually thrown around.

Finlay If I do see people causing a problem in these area’s I try to educate them as to the meanings of these places, sadly I often get told to sod off and also am told who cares – whats it got 2 do with you.

You know what I would love to provide some form of voluntary security if something could be arranged and you what maybe I would have considered a police or armed forces job but I have physical, learning and emotional disability’s that rule such a choice out.

Hey you know what I guess said disability’s mean I can claim to be having a hard life and can go around stealing , wrecking and doing as I please without any care for anyone but myself, but I have such a thing as a conscience and respect for others so I will keep quietly doing what I can when I can.

I might be cleaning a couple of headstones of Great War airmen in the next couple of weeks, perhaps andrewman would care to come and chop my hands off for this wanton act of vandalism?

No I would not care to chop of your hands, but I do support it being used for those who steal – destroy memeorials, headstones etc, and you know what I will stand up for my views and my opinions.

Totaly disgraceful – the person(s) who done this should be kicked out the country and put on a remote island and left to rot.

Anyone who can do sumthing like this is pure scum I only wished they have cut there hands of trying to nick the memorial – would have served em bloody right.

Anyone remember the two at
Cottesmore that year who ended up with what was it, 20% burns. I don’t think they will try that number again

Oh yes I remember that incident rather well lol – it was alot more than 2 people who were burnt but in all honesty most people sufferd only minor burns or cuts.

After the incident a number of those who got hurt were trying to sue the MOD and RIAT and the pilots of the B1-B despite the fact they chose to stand behind the aicraft and in fact to do so had trespased into an unsafe area that was closed to the public.

If an airshow did want to bring some of Thunder city’s or another companys ex milatry jets over for an airshow (even just for the static display) what would the CAA view the idea like – would they have any serrious objections to an aircraft simply flying into an airshow for a static display then flying back home after the airshow ?

Getting back to the subject of XR724 im sure ive seen photos of it being run in the last couple of months but they only ran 1 engine at a time.

Seems a good idea 🙂

However in my opinion the best memorial we have for the Spitfire and those associated with it is the flying examples 🙂
