Just done a bit of playing around with the link, try 'a irplane' instead of 'aeroplane' in the address winkyy.gif

It seems admin have the word filter set so that will change it automatically from the American spelling with the 'i' to the usual spelling of aeroplane when you type it. You see, if you try to type 'aeroplane,' it will come out as 'aeroplane' anyway biggrin.gif

http://www.a.irplane-pictures.net/airport....creen_timestamp (remove the '.' after the 'a'.

Well spotted Matt, and I'm the guilty party...
A few things our American friends do to the language that are too much to bear
Laboratory to rhyme with lavatory
Lever to rhyme with ever
...and that word "a irplane"
So I set the filter to change it, way back.
See, it works!
Also shows how heavyhandedness can backfire... ohmy.gif
