Re: Colin McRea in a fatal helicopter accident?

What a terrible week-end this is turning out to be with two fatal crashes.

My heartfelt sympathies go out to all families.

Just only hope that today is an incident free one, the very thought of the saying 'It all comes in threes' does not materialise.

Nigel.

Re: It wasn't me Officer.......Honest!!

You lucky burger Eric!! :lol: But then again, a free bus pass for me in four years time would do no good at all as I work nights and public transport when I finish my shift don't operate.

Re: It wasn't me Officer.......Honest!!

Many thanks for all your comments and support, just hope that no one else has to suffer the same. John, I am already bracing myself for further letters of ' intent '. It can be very frustrating having to deal with various Authorities as those in their employment often have an attitude of "That'...
