  1. Hi Pete, thanks, found it, it took some finding, hope the weather is good for them.
  2. What time are the lights being turned on? I can't find any adds or references for the event, are there other things planned for the same time?
  3. Link worked webtrekker, thanks. These four people are not against drones but against the way they are being used, surly that would also apply to maned aircraft, ground troops, ships or snipers. These ISIS targets have no morals and do not belong in our society.
  4. Nope, she doesn't but is looking forward to the answer... I think she was being distracted at that time...
  5. Good guy takes out bad guy with the minimum amount of risk, I don't see what is cowardly about that! Consider the atrocities that the bad guy has committed lets get some more drones asap. BTW I saw what Isis did to that captured pilot, that could possibly have been avoided with the use of a drone. Respectfully submitted .
  6. We must always remember them! https://youtu.be/cKoJvHcMLfc
  7. Thank you foxy, looks like a great turn out, we have our service and parade on the 11th, but it could be held inside this year if this snow doesn't stop! That poppy waterfall is impressive.
  8. Thank you Canny lass. That is the first time I have heard the explanation which leads me to wonder why we were not taught "i before e if it sounds like ee", then we may not have always questioned the "ruleâ€
  9. Eggy, some of those old photographs can have a great resolution, have a look at this Shorpy site, I get a lot of Model T pictures from there, you can blow them up and see tremendous detail. The cameras used big plates and lonnnnng exposure! http://www.shorpy.com/node/20254
  10. "When do we ...play again" ?
  11. Excellent! Well done Malcolm and all those involved producing this newsletter, it must have taken a lot time and effort to produce this very informative document! Now to sit back and re-read it all and digest, so much information!
  12. Quick pull-up over Mt Kembla
  13. 1110 ATC in Ashington, visited RAF St Mawgan, Avro Shackletons and aerobatics ifs in DH Chipmunk. Around 1957-8, I think!
  14. That was quite an era for experimental aircraft, Fairey Delta 1-2 Boulton Paul 110-120, Armstrong Whitworth, Handley Page and lots more, we led the world in aircraft development , swept wing, swing wings, hovercraft , vtol, stol, supersonic, oh well can not live in the past!
  15. Happy birthday Fourgee, hope your having a great day!
  16. Lops were on the body, dickies in the hair! Lops were usually from the "lopy dog"
  17. As requested!
  18. Could be either tenant or landlord, you would have to read the lease!
  19. Too neat, Photoshop I'd say!
  20. Anyone lucky enough to see the big flypast today? must have been spectacular.
  21. Winterizing, We have had our first frosts and snowfall, yesterday I put away the lawnmower and fuelled up the snowblower, guess what?it got up to 27c... â„⛄
  22. Happy birthday Malcolm, hope your having a great day!
  23. It's a bit different here in the mountains HPW, the mine put a conveyor through the mountain to bring the coal to the Prep plant and train load-out. A few years ago the mine closed for quite a while when it changed hands, when it re-opened the tunnel was unusable, the floor had heaved up to the roof! it was abandoned and now they haul the coal.
  24. Could be, I don,t check between 6am and 2ish most days! (Bedlington time")
  25. YES! Let the play with it but try and tell them about its importance, yes it will get broken, but that's ok it's Wort it.
