    I thought i saw that same picture in "Trade-a-Hubby" The ad said something along the lines of "Good looking gentleman with personality, interested in aviation, moviemaking, and a real man of the land with property:thumb up:. In pretty good nick for the vintage, and very well maintained. New hips, new teeth, new clothes and above all, a flash set of new boots as modeled in photo which should last a lifetime. Low maintenance with a good service life remaining. Looking to meet lady of means with appropriate property. Please send photo and dimensions of the hangar".

    You should have ducked next door to Bunning's for a cordless screwdriver dutch, and given it to them on the house, but the bastar*rds would have probably still hit you for $200 bucks for the charger! but at least you might have saved $100 towards a few of your enjoyable aero's.

    Thanks for posting those videos Dominic. I miss Biggin Hill, as I used to be a regular there when I lived nearby in Selsdon. Occasionally, a pilot would do a fast low-level run heading west along the runway, cross the road, and drop out of view into the valley. Everyone's heart was in their mouth, waiting for the bang and puff of smoke to appear, but they'd swing around out of sight and to much relief reappear again from the other end of the runway. Got a short ride in a Lancaster at Biggin which was being restored many decades ago. Bloody noisy thing inside, thought it was going to shake itself apart.

    Good one Doug! Get your A**se into gear mate, once it's fixed up, you'll have to think up a new avitar. Looks like fun times and hopefully minimal frustrations ahead. Kind Regards Planey

    In my early days working and having recently started smoking, a fellow worker thought I was a soft touch, and in a very persuasive manner started bumming smokes off me several times a day. The firm's van driver who came from a gypsy family gave me a horse hair and said pass it through the cigarette with a fine needle an save it for him, which I did. It smelt crook when he lit it up. He was soon heard making unusual noises in the toilet and took the rest of the day off. Sorry! Too much thread drift. Back to topic.

    A man and his ever-nagging wife went on vacation in Jerusalem . While they were there, the wife passed away . The undertaker told the husband, "You can have her buried here in the Holy Land for $150 or we can have her shipped back home for $5,000. The husband thought about it and told the undertaker he would have her shipped back home. The undertaker asked him, "why would you spend $5,000 to have her shipped home when you could have a beautiful burial here, and it would only cost $150????" The husband replied, "Long ago, a man died here, was buried here, and three days later, rose from the dead. I just can’t take that chance!"

    Amongst other traders in their midst , it seems they also might need an experienced Baker as well, who knows how to use his loaf:wink:

    Welcome JC. Do you run that trike on UP or OP Bundy?

    My ex-wife was a hairdresser and she'd normally curl up dye for anyone. Didn't happen when we going through settlement though, not that I would have wanted that anyway. We are still good friends, which is the best way to be.

    Of course I meant astrologer, but you're too much of a gentleman to give me a hard time over my mistake. Thank you.

    Sorry! That was a typo, I knew it was IFR because I looked it up on Google. Nice looking aircraft and instrument panel for those with the necessary knowledge to use what's available.

    Well done!

    Success, is often measured not by the number of times you tried but failed to your own satisfaction, but by the number of times you tried again until it did. Good luck mate, we are sure you will get there, and love to read about your ambitions.

    Reminds me of the one time in my life when I bumped into an astronomer and she said "hello, what's your name"? I thought to myself, if your any bloody good at what you do, you would have worked that out already.

    Congratulations on your 2nd solo Debbie. You must be happy with the progress you've made, after all it's not a race, more of a milestone. Well done!

    Wait for the real estate ad....................."Renovators Dream"

    A photo I took in Chippenham. In those days there was "A little less conversation, a bit more action" as the song goes. That's my photo for the heck of it!

    I wondered about that too, Phil, having been on the 14th deck of a cruise ship in very heavy seas and wild winds. The wind loading on structures that big would be enormous.

    That's too big for my liking. Bet they've got a shoe shop on board as you'd wear them out just walking around the thing. What they need is a number of slides to get passengers off quickly for shore excursions, as that can be a nightmare.

    Plenty of Avid's doing good service your way. We'd like to see a few pictures of yours, when you get a chance to post them.

    That's a nice VFR equipped Cessna 182RG. Looks like you had a great trip with good weather.
  25. planedriver
    Glad you gave him a serve, otherwise it can spoil things for the majority who are responsible. As an aside, check this out <https://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=mOBQXuu_5Zw> Just hope no one was planning to do night VFR training on that strip:wink:
