Hi team.



Anyway, I'm going flying tomorrow. Anyone in S.E. England want a flypast?


I'll be at Popham if you fancy a coffee.

I was painting the cowling tonight. Cured the problem I had withe the tacho drive and should get the cowling done early next week. I have one undercarriage to fuselage fairing to fit and some interior. Then, weight and balance, fuel flow check, lost of paperwork (which has been started) and then even more paperwork.

It is a lot closer than it was this time four years ago!

Der is in with those darn slippers and that vile pipe - no way is that stuff legal , is your greenhouse working well these days Der :wink:

Wish I had a greenhouse but the pipe is working fine in its own vile way and the slippers are both warm and smelly. Just the way I like it.

Sadly not. Larger issues are going on and are hopefully less large than we think, but our attention is diverted elsewhere.

I will explain over coffee at Popham

Oh, some of us are here, Rob, and have been since the very beginning, before WIX, before the Vintage Aviator fiasco, in the days of the old WW board. I just didn't need the 'J' here!

They even let me have one of your fine North American products as an Avatar here, it's only on FlyPast that they make me have a Spitfire. 8)

It seems the WIX forum has a long history of refugee acceptance, being instituted as a refugee center for the old WW/VA forum way back when.

I'm always thankful for all the friends I have made from all over the world through this forum. While I hope the Key Publishing guys get the FP forum back up I'm glad of the oppurtunity to meet even more enthusiasts and hopefully make even more friends.

From the Battle of Britain London Monument website -

'Press Releases


22nd November 2004

Battle of Britain Monument Fund nears its target
Announcement from Rt. Hon The Lord Tebbit
Lord Tebbit, chairman of the Battle of Britain Monument Committee, announces today that some £1.6 million has now been raised towards the estimated cost of £1.65m, and that the balance is expected to be attained very shortly.

Significantly, more than £230,000 has been received in the last two weeks following Lord Tebbit's revelation in the Mail on Sunday that the Lotteries Heritage Fund had, with the support of the Culture Secretary Miss Tessa Jowell, financed another World War II monument but had refused assistance to the Battle of Britain London Monument.

Ends

Notes to Editors
The Battle of Britain Monument is an initiative of the Battle of Britain Historical Society. It will be sited on the Thames embankment by Westminster pier. Progress on the monument fundraising, design and construction can be found on this website, www.bbm.org.uk. Battle of Britain London Monument Ltd is based at:

Well You know Mike we are somewhat better trained then are friends across the pond and are alot more tolerant of ones own taste. :drinkers:

Cheers RER


I guess we'll just forget about that whole 9/11 thread of yours, Rob. Oh, nice new avitar, I'm sure that will go well with the US Navy.

As for WIX, you win. Welcome back. It's all yours. I'll be on flypast (if it ever comes back). You're welcome there, just try not to insult the Brits or convince them that you were friends with everyone involved in the attack on the Pentagon, or that you have a squadron of Brewster Buffalo fighters in the backyard. It will help your credibility more than you can imagine.
