Another pointless thread

Using my post # 1000 to announce that it's been a wet weekend in Horten. No photo joy. However, just as I'm writing this the sun is breaking through. The coming week is said to be nice, though.

Wonder if there's a reward for making 1000 posts, or does it just mean I've been talking too much
Best regards
Terry

No reward for a 1000 posts, just a sneaky feeling that you could have been doing something else...


...or not!

As for the doors, I may let you see them when the boss has stopped waxing them...

I found out a bit more about the french Concord. It seems that a group of people are trying to restore one not to flying condition but so they can fast taxi it. A much more achievable goal.

Fast taxis can go wrong however clicky. (Sorry about the inane commentary.)

What do they get out of a "fast taxi"?

You'd get to hear the fantastic Olympus engines roar (although not the afterburners I hope!), and the fantastic experience of taxing round Heathrow for half an hour. Well, erm, 1 out of 2 isn't bad...


more usefully, it means you have much less strict rules and don't need a certificate of airworthyness from the CAA (which, thanks to efforts at deliberatly wrecking Concorde by everyone from Harold Wilson in the 70's to BA 40 years later, you aren't going to be able to get for Concorde now).
Still shooting in the dark (literally and metaphorically)...

I was going to say - they should get out more - but then realised what I am doing.

Each to their own. I understand some people are getting excited about 22 men squabbling over a ball and breaking themselves at the moment.

Unbelievable.

Thought of the night -

If the person designing the drawing board got it wrong, what would he go back to?
