Wow, I'm glad I could actually help you guys out with this. Gmail checker sounds interesting Matt, and I must find that photobucket uploader.. I'll look into it. FYI Charl I think Adblock on Chrome is the better of the two, but after a spate of Chrome crashes (blue screen) I went back to Firefox for the time being (I am actually running 3.6 firefox due to V4 crashes too) Oh well, as long as I have my Adblock, all is good. Cheers

thats harder to read than a METAR!

So easy for something to go wrong to , Thuunderbirds T-38 team 1982 coming out a loop - all four perished . Great photo .

These days i can see rich parent boy racer (mum can i have one - go ask your dad) , cap stitched to the back arm leaning on the window ledge , lowered seat and playing 'highway to the danger-zone' and getting spatted /laugh.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :lol: border= 0 alt= laugh.gif /> .... not funny be true next couple years /tongue.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :P border= 0 alt= tongue.gif />

I have always promise myself the book , and a favourite also off the Orion - my father built a wooden model , maybe 1971/2

Thanks, Ian! But just to point this out: We do already have the manual PDF file! (Not that I'm begging here to get it for free!)

Great Archive footage , to check out the F105 would have made my day /cool.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= B-) border= 0 alt= cool.gif />

There are many theories as to what brought down AF447. There have been some interesting considerations as a result of this incident. Airline pilots have been trained that anti ice is not required when the temperature is below -40 degrees C as the only moisture able to be present is ice particles and that these don't "stick". However there have been significant icing issues experienced by airliners in temps well below -40 and AF447 is probably one of them. What is happening is that these ice particles melt on contact with heated surfaces (like pitot and TAT probes) and then...
