More likely hiding from our other half's (halves??) for forgetting.. :oops:

It's getting rather tiresome - I might defect permanently if it carries on as unreliably as this.

Ashley (and the rest) I've been in and out here all afternoon.
I actually feel a bit cheeky poping in here but I need my daily (hourly????) aircraft fix.

Addict?-or what?
Cheers

Umm, shouldn't you have used a British-built aircraft to depict the Flypast board? :wink:

No...the general opinion there seems to be that only American planes (and pilots) crash... :D

Welcome back FPers.

Hopefully the FP admins will get the Merlins that power the board operational soon. It can be a pain in the tushy sometimes, we've gone through similar bouts here in the past.

I'll have RER whip up a batch of fish and chips and bangers and mash for you all.

Tell Col Rohr that Flypast is probably driven by some horrible British sleeve valve powerplant. Leaking oil and brewing up just when maximum power is needed.
I reckon the whole thing needs rebuilding with four 3350's.
So that's four more historic artefacts us Brits will stealing from the Yanks.

it begs the question whether we should ask Scott to create a special "pommy" hangar and simply reside here 8)
