Re: Does your name have an aviation connection ?

Hi Davef. As you are no doubt aware, when pigs give birth, they "farrow" so there's a name connection. A long time ago, I worked for a fire extinguisher company called NuSwift as a service engineer. The foam type extinguishers were filled with water, and in the top was a bag of Bulls Blood...

Re: Now I REALLY feel old:-(

My Mum's hearing aids cost more than this new PC of mine. £1,400 ... each!! Yes, you heard correctly. Some cost a lot more than that. The actual cost of manufacture is just a few pounds, but I was told that the cost includes "specialist service" to the customer. I realise that they are ava...

Re: Does your name have an aviation connection ?

I used to have a David Brown ... but I'd rather have an Aston Martin! http://s26.postimg.org/paqneh1t5/355.jpg Yes, it really is me. After selling our pub, we lived on a farm for 16 years before returning to Surrey. I loved it, and still miss the pigs. An aviation connection? Well, DENNIS make fire ...

Re: Germanwings A320 crashes in the Alps

Look, I'm only repeating what I saw and heard. The title given to the person on BBC TV News, was that he was "Swiss" What has that to do with "The Swiss" or Switzerland in general? No more than the fact that the pilots were German, has to do with all Germans.

Re: Germanwings A320 crashes in the Alps

I was repeating what the Swiss Public Prosecutor said in his statement, as I saw it on the news. It was translated, so maybe the statement was translated incorrectly?

Re: Germanwings A320 crashes in the Alps

The latest news is beyond belief. The Captain was locked out of the cockpit after using the toilet, and the 1st Officer deliberately crashed the aircraft!

Re: Vickers Stratosphere Chamber

I saw it a few years ago, before the refurb. On the same visit, I also met Dave and had the grand tour of his baby. Just a line on H&S. An old RAF pal of mine visited Cosford museum, and asked if he could go in the Hastings. Not a chance! There is a danger to health from the luminous paint used ...

Re: Do you ever check your email activity?

I received an identical letter this week Dave. £834.000 waiting for me to claim. My postcode chosen by the Spanish lottery. I Googled Bono Lotto, and of course it's a scam. It's very sad when siblings fall out. My wife hasn't spoken to her brother for years. I know why, but it doesn't seem such a bi...
