Classic Aviation Collectors Yard

Hi guys.

Some wonderful gems on this site that some may enjoy looking at. :)

Discovered this site whilst reading about the Britannia cockpit in a recent edition of wreck and relics.

Re: Last Flght Of a Transall...narrow escape

Re: Got to make a decision guys - Time for a career change?

Indeed it is mate. :) Something I did consider as I mentioned, however I landed a nice little specialist post in 2005 and have been there ever since.

I can understand your predicament as I have many friends who left the force because they were no longer allowed to "Police" Spot on Graham. :rock: I never really got onto the subject of bureaucracy, but that is also a huge factor in the deterioration of job morale. Many bobbies often say ...
