    Think we can safely say that Tangmere can fill us in…If he will admit that that was him under that 70’s hair cut !

    Think Hornchurch has it right;

    while the bracket for the MG isnt there those strange ( to me anyway ) clip things above the window are there, as is the bracing on the panel underneath the window beside the MG position.

    Didnt see this when I was there about 2 years ago and there was some stuff around the back just about visable but not near enough to be examined. Did you see the various bits and pieces inside the building? Undercart , engine etc.

    Has to be one of the best examples of all that is wrong with “Reality” TV…cheap trash TV with a crowd of attention seeking muppets who are so flaming self serving as to be unbeleivable. It has about as much credence as a TV programme as Jeremy Kyle’s abilities as a reconciliation expert !

    Good riddance to bad rubbish , hopefully the various other Talent discovery / Celebrity island type sh**e will follow it into oblivion! :diablo:

    My thoughts exactly, did you see the documentary ( last week/earlier this week?) with camcorder recordings taken by ordinary people in and around the WTC? the images ,taken by one person as he/she walked out ,of the Rescue personel and police heading in the other direction knowing they were heading into hellish danger were very , very emotive and i wondered how many of them got back out.

    I suppose like many others i was at work and one of the other guys walked in and told me what was happening. We didnt have a TV and could only listen to somewhat disjointed Radio reports. I remember, the face of a young lad at work fearing for his brother working a block or so away , being worried myself about a old school chum who was a cop near the WTC & ringing one of my best friends who had most of his grown up kids living in Manhatten, working near the WTC and not knowing if i should ring him or not.

    Thankfully none of them were lost unlike so many innocent people going about their daily work or those who went charging into the face of death to try and save others.

    Did you share the fear, the not knowing what was going to happen next & the utter disgust that someone, anyone could do this and claim that it was in the name of any God ? I did.

    Because there was never a problem with the rules. Look closer to home.

    Wait a minute…..are you saying that flights are not a problem, that they can still take place in Europe??

    If thats the case why arn’t they happening in the UK? lack of demand?

    Glad that the pilot is ok but its a damned shameabout the aircraft , the 190 was to me a highlight of Legends last year.
