I think with technical book shops they are very specialize and today internet makes it so easy to get required and specific detailed books which for people like me and yourself a must have for research, and you make sure you don't one on the subject , half a dozen is a good number B-)

So obviously your heading that direction, the B-1 , that dose look sinister slipping threw the air , amazing to think it was the 1974 Farnborough Airshow the F-16 debuted to the public and 40 years on still puts on one hell of a display , look like a great show ..... well all airshows are :)

A the 900ft/min sink, one thing I pointed out years back was if you flipped a US NAVY USS Nimitz class on the, its stern 1100ft long plonked it beside the Christchurch port hills you would see it before those in-behind port hills , that is a good example how quickly it was dropping so for those of you who have hill around and you use as measuring sticks ... gives you a good idea the speed of decent.

Maybe its just me?.... :rolleyes: .... ...but I tend not to dwell on; "Things". I think that; "Things Happen", and its the way of life! My dear old Mum and Dad passed-away at the age of 90 in 1990... There's nothing we can do to change it... ...and I'm still here...thankfully.......annoying/humouring everyone around me!... :lol: ...! Paul.... :D ...! "Dwelling" results in "Depressing", and serves no useful purpose!...trust me!..... :wink2: ...! Cure: Cook yourself a fantastic meal, together with a cool glass (or two) of Beer.!..... :lol: ...!

Yes, I remember the time - there was some great music around, especially the protest songs - and back then, the air was clean and sex was dirty :D When did it all go wrong?

Ian needs a 1980 Honda CB900F. I did have a 1982 Honda CB900FB, it did come with the racing fairing , I stored that put the smaller semi race fairing , a good heavy rack with the ability to put on a pack , ideal for touring the country it clocked 217,000 km (135,000 miles) before replaced.
