    My handle is a nickname I had when I was at school (and when I first registered) at a time where even my teachers called me Barnowl or Barnie.

    It got so silly at one point that a girl I was seeing once asked why I signed things as Andy when my name was Barnie. We’d been going out for six months at that point…

    So in my defence, when I registered Barnowl pretty much was my name.

    You ******- for a second there I misread that and thought you were referring to Vulcan XH558.

    Teaches me to read before getting excited, booking the next year off work and buying a camera that cost more than my car…

    Be ashamed…:D

    In that case surely it would have been a good idea to have a few members of the police or the parking team acting as traffic lights at the area, so that you wouldn’t have a free-for-all at that critical point. I mean letting 10 cars in each rotation of direction would have maybe reduced the wait for a lot of people.

    Secondly- I have previously been one of the minority who actually checked the map-book before setting out. I saw that the signposted route wasnt the quickest and took the aforementioned shortcut. Sorry but in my opinion thats the duty of every motorist. Plus the fact that I was on a motorbike meant that I hardly had any wait before I was in and parked.

    Whilst I appreciate the fact that the signposted route was the ‘official’ route, it wasn’t the only route for the event.

    Or I could just be completely wrong… either of those…

    In regards to question three, I think RAF Barton was in North Oxford. But I could be wrong.

    Good luck to all of you taking exams this month (and all other months), just remember to relax and to get a good night’s kip the night before and you’ll sail through.

    A couple of weeks ago a hospital in Ireland pronounced a man dead. They informed his family and everything. They were bringing him down to the morgue and suddenly discovered he was alive!

    It was great that he was alive but his family had suffered the pain of been told that he was dead. How could a man be alive and pronounced dead. It boggles the mind.

    Imagine being one of the porters/ morgue workers who ‘discovered’ he was alive! I’d literally fire my sphincter across the room like a party popper (joke thanks to Bill Bryson!) 😀

    What made me laugh was this comment:

    “Perhaps you’d like to check into this further and see if the site was broken into in any way before making such accusations? I’ve met dozens of people from the 28DL forum and have yet to see any one of them ‘break into’ anywhere. Quite often, access is granted due to poor security.”

    When the very first post remarks:

    Its an old museum as far as I can tell, but it hasnt been open in a long while!

    Didnt get to spend too long in there…the mahusive amounts of barbed wire forced my ladyfriend to stay in the car so I couldnt spend to long inside which sucks!

    Draw your own conclusions…

    In other news, after an incredibly long hiatus, I am indeed back!

    Best way I find to hit the He-111 on any flight sim, is to come at it from the 12 o clock high, sweeping down from the sun, piling rounds down the fusilage before banking away. If you hit her just right, maybe with a few cannon shells in the mix for good measure, you should destroy the bird on the first pass -or at least cripple her- without being hit by the gunners. Then repeat on the wing if it’s still there, hopefully seperating it from the aircraft. That usually does the trick for me.

    To be honest, any scheme that is just plain grey makes me yawn.
