    😎 Try “Wikipedia” it has a lot of details about this company and also details of the RS1, RS3 Desford, RS4 Bobsleigh and Gloster Meteor F8 “Prone Pilot”.

    Give it a try

    Totally agree that F1 has lost it’s gloss.

    My own personal opinion is that they should return to the rules which were in force during the time of Clark, Hill etc.

    You start the race with sufficient fuel to complete the distance and four good tyres. If (due to mechanical reasons or a puncture) you have to enter the pits, then that’s just the way things are.

    Jim Clark was apparently in this position in one race. Entered the pits and was lapped by the field. Exited the pits, unlapped himself and I think managed a top 5 finish.

    That’s what racing should be about – who is the best driver. Not who has the best technology, or who has the best pit strategist. Just hit the green lights, travel the distance and first over the line wins.

    Seems simple to my wee brain cell

    Cheers

    HOW RIGHT YOU ARE!!!!!!!

    Ealiest Aviation Memory

    😎 In 1936/1937 I was aged 7 and I was on my Uncles Farm in Winwick in Cambridgeshire and picking blackberries with my brother and uncle and it was early evening with a cloudless and lovely blue sky with the sun just going down when flying low over the farm was a very large biplane (which we now think was an Hadley Page HP42) it was so low that we could see some of the passengers. It was extermely graceful and it was the first time we had really noticed aeroplanes.
    It made such an impression on us both they we could not sleep as we were talking about it most of the night and for days after.
    What a nice slow , peaceful era that was!!! it will remain with us forever.

    NHS and all the other services that are “Skint”.

    Anarchy

    🙁 I am a retired PC and we could enforce the laws and have the backing of Magistrates and the Police Authority in the 60’s.

    Nowdays no respect is shown for anyone and I would certainly NOT like to be a PC trying to enforce legislation in todays climate. (no backing is ever forthcoming for the Police now)

    Something severe will have to be done as we cannot continue in this manner for much longer without even greater problems confronting us.
