The M1a Abrams tank, which we bought lots of is also turbine powered and has a huge thirst and low range.

My deepest condolences, I am sure she will be greatly missed.

My take on the crash is this .. Pilots not at fault, during takeoff it has suffered a complete engine stoppage on both at the same time. The flaps were extended. They had no electrical or hydraulic systems operational after dual engine stoppage. The Ram Air Turbine deployed as it left the airfield in the initial climb, this only extends when total power is lost. Once the RAT deployed, they were a dead plane falling and had no opportunity to save the aircraft. The height was far too low to allow the RAT to provide any opportunity for control power. It would appear a complete electrical system failure stopping both engines. Fuel is not suspected, other aircraft had the same fuel without incident. My view is a Boeing problem unrelated to air India. Dodgy build and swarf shorting a wiring harness? Time will tell. A tragic state of affairs. If it's Boeing, I ain't going.

Nice little tin bird. However it's missing most rivets on the screen support, possibly yet to have a canopy mounting point? Otherwise a bit poor for a factory video if rivets are missing. No such thing as spare rivets, everyone adds strength.

Sheep kangaroos? That would be a Woolly Jumper

My son is down to Avalon this week. Here he is with rocket racer Rosco Mcglashin.

I would not think that Alan Turing just had ADHD to any significant degree but he was rather a high functioning Autistic ie he was on the spectrum. This often presents as ADHD like symptoms but that is only part of been on the spectrum, their brain is wired differently and ranges from those unable to speak to the socially awkward geniuses. Alan would be called a Savant. Unfortunately he was also a Gay man when that meant jail or worse. Societies attitude particularly some asshole police persecuted him. His career destroyed and criminalised he suicided.

If it saves you money and makes it sustainable - go for it. We all appreciate what you do for us. Thanks Ian.

VH-AWG...shit. Bugger I hope pilot is Ok. Beautiful aircraft, too special to not repair. They actually build replica ones for LSA in the states.

Whilst your at Jerry's, take some pics. Esp of the pub.🍺

I prefer Butterflies

I always knew you were a clever bloke. To get back on subject, at least the Asahi brands send the profits to Japan not the USA.

True Most still tastes like dishwater, catspiss or XXXX. But are bloody expensive compared to quality imports.

Hence the lack of good Aussie beer been available. All our beers get bought out as soon as they succeed,neither to kill or capture the market. How is it sensible my favourite beer Peroni red is $52 a case fully imported from Italy and the Peroni white is brewed local and is $66 a case? Both marketed in Aus by Asahi but vastly different in price. $14 more and it did not travel half the globe to get to me. Our Beer market has become duopolistic. Yet another example of market failure allowed by the ACCC and IRB.

Dean, You will get more interest if you can list some proper details of the build and a expected price. We should not have to "fish" for basic info. If you want a sale esp to a pilot that will complete it, you need to attract is with details.
