The crews will be fully employed working up for the new jet which will, trust me, keep them very busy indeed! 42 (Torpedo Bomber) Sqn is hoping to v...

Re: Nimrod MR out of service print - NOW WITH PICTURE!

Hi folks, just a quick note to say that the postal tubes have arrived and I will start sending prints out tomorrow. Hopefully you will receive your print by the weekend.

Laptop woes.... :(

Hi folks, my trusty laptop has gone south. First the ac charger failed, but the machine worked fine on battery. Obtained new oem replacement charger and the laptop won't recognise it or charge.

We have thus far sold 1300 of the 2000 I ordered and made 4000 pounds for the charities we are supporting. We will be able to buy a s...
