I live quite near Jandakot and there are a few GA-8s here that ply back and forth almost daily, mainly to Rottnest I think. Edited January 10 by marshallarts

facthunter Posted January 11 Posted January 11 I'm NOT implying anything but it's an unfortunate photo, is it not? Pointing it out, DOESN''T make ME racist. Nev

facthunter Posted January 11 Posted January 11 The Picture might not look good when it's promulgated. That's NOT My doing. It's in the Public Domain.. Should comment be forbidden like it is in some countries you wouldn't want to live in.? I think NOT. Nev 1
facthunter Posted January 11 Posted January 11 Sorry but I have strong views on these matters. When I saw it , it just "Jumped Out" at ME. Not suggesting it was arranged. People may have a feeling where they should place themselves. I always look who gets in the front of a Photo. IT can tell you things. By rights it should be the shortest. Nev
onetrack Posted January 11 Posted January 11 The "pushy" always get to the front of a photo if the photographer doesn't issue strict instructions. Just look at Trump, he shoves others aside to get front and centre of any photo opportunity.

facthunter Posted January 11 Posted January 11 Butt out Red ,You are supposed to be a moderator and not pile on people you have shown constantly that YOU don't like. There is NO justification for censuring what I've said and I'lltake this one as far as you like if you continue in this Manner . I'm asking you to withdraw your comment. Do the right thing. You are out of Order. Nev
