One thing I discussed with Wigram museum staff when photoing the DC-3 cockpit was what it must have felt like during D-day drops , one series that puts into perspective was 'Band of Brothers'

QUOTE (Ian Warren @ Jun 7 2014,10:37 AM) Being the third longest running airline in the world QANTAS will get a Gov fix .. just the likes of ANZ. It is all going exactly to plan. The big items Joyce wants is the dropping of the sale of Qantas act and to kneecap the "legacy unions".....and he will take the airline to the brink of collapse to achieve them. But he will ultimately succeed (if he lives long enough) possibly with a govt bailout package to boot. Watch the turnaround then.

QUOTE (s0cks @ Jun 3 2014,12:11 PM) Surely some stuff would float. An entire plane and no floating debris? At the very least something must turn up on a coastline somewhere you would have thought. That depends on how it went down its ALT and the angle of attack and impact - possible one reason they will not see it and who's to say that is where it stopped in the first place - .... ocean moves things in so many different ways - another example of what maybe left was an MD/80/DC9 type impacted the ground and made the thing left looked like confetti. Some aircraft come down left in...

As usual I shut down for the night (far too much stuff restarts for updates in the wee small hours otherwise) and lo and behold this morning all is well. Even daringly toggled the Num Lock no problem, so sorry Marty, no sale. Another couple of days use and this keyboard will have paid its way. /biggrin.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :D border= 0 alt= biggrin.gif />

Thankyou Doug /clapping.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :clap: border= 0 alt= clapping.gif />

Marrrrty .. It a container ship full of sports gear ... you how many soccer balls the local Hong Kong team lost in the ocean ... and forget the Hockey balls ... so its just a simple delivery to the door /smile.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :) border= 0 alt= smile.gif />

I have seen some Classics , done the main south rd (state hyw1) pedal to the metal looking the other way giving the bird (the finger) In saying that I have seen on two seprate occasions two that cut themselves in half , the last was the most gruesome .. 50 feet of entrails and he was still alive for 15 minutes. That teach's you ... old saying is " the one that that gets ya is the one you don't see"

Oh here's the silver lining Marty, it was the cat and not me /thumbup1.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :thumbup: border= 0 alt= thumbup1.gif />

QUOTE (Fozzer @ May 28 2014,8:57 PM) Never get rid of your toys...trust me!... /winkyy.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= ;) border= 0 alt= winkyy.gif /> ...! Exactly what I said Paul , never ever give away your toys ... few years down the road , Ben would saying "I wish I had kept those" !

Stirring , just a pity the list wasn't closer to home /ninja.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :ph43r: border= 0 alt= ninja.gif /> and have Shona Laing singing "(Glad I'm) not a John Key"

Ben did you have any photo of it , I built one from a set off plans from the mid 1980s , engineering wise was not much to it .. same sort of engine used on the V1 (doodlebugs) of WWII , the things we played around with pre computer days , figgen thing was lethal tho and I never got it into a model aircraft ... I would like to have a look at this, who made it ?
