  1. Don't get the premium mixed up with the kero, it slows me down a bit 🤬
  2. All's well that ends well they say.
  3. Life's tough for some, but someones gotta do it, and the weather looks great,
  4. This tread is becoming a piddle riddle.
  5. Many decades ago I supplied photoelectric beams to control automatic flushing of urinals at Zurich Airport, and they all had a fly etched into the back, so there was something to aim at.
  6. Hopefully, it'll also tell you where to buy a few stripes to stitch on your shoulders before you venture off, just to give you that extra confidence 😀

    As a youngster and out on my uncles boat in Poole Harbour UK, we were invited to go aboard for a look around one, just before it was towed to be scrapped at nearby Lower Hamworthy. http://www.pooleflyingboats.com/archive/10 A Flying Boat Finale at Poole from 1953.pdf

    As a slight thread drift, I have a huge (6ft long) photo adorning my lounge room wall of Sunderland VH-BRF coming into land on the lagoon at Lord Howe Island back in 1974. These old aircraft had quite interesting history's, and VH-BRF was no exception if anyone is interested reading about it in the attached link. https://aussieairliners.org/shortfb/vh-brf/vhbrf.html

  14. We learn something new every day they say. I wonder how many others were not aware of ram air turbines. I for one have to admit it's news to me, so that's something I was not aware of before, but most of other info in this video clip I was aware of. Others might find this interesting also? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3yn0MXxxIpw

  19. That's called a fly-over Flyboy 1960. Glad you got it
  20. A man on a long flight couldn't help but keep staring and smiling at the very attractive passenger sitting opposite him. Eventually, she turned and said "every time you smile at me, I feel like inviting you back to my place" The guy feeling like he was really getting somewhere with her, said "Aww! that's very nice, are you single" She replied "No i'm a dentist"
  21. They simply play the song "Getting to know you" I thought you would have realised that Nev.😜
  22. Not always accurate, but i'm sure it's done in good faith, but often lacking in knowledge.
