I remember Stan Boardman telling Des O Connor that some of them were Messerchmitts. Same show had Olly Reed on it. Nuff said!

I`m stood there as I type - sorry Cedric - it must be the wine.
Had a nice but chilly 9 holes with Rog today - he`s had his hub upgraded and is very pleased - apparently he controls the WHOLE household now - naughty foster children = 1 warning then - click and the internet is cut off remotely. I like that !
Bath time now - NURSE - another glass of Shiraz if you please ...........

Should have said it was a Friendship! Scary stuff, engine failure on the grass (pre tarmac days)along comes six wheel landrover with grease monkey behind the wheel. Off come the engine cowlings in go GM`s arms up to the elbows, lots of liquid dribbling out. Cowlings back on thumbs up from GM to the chap up the sharp end. Twiddly thing goes round and round, lights dim and finally a cough and splutter like an asthmatic pigeon and off we jolly well go.

now, if I could find out ahead of, say, 2100 on Friday if I can fly on Saturday or not it would be nice.
Already arranged to spend lots of money at SRS on Monday, but if I can't get there.... ARGH! I hate not knowing!

Next door will know tomorrow about their rebooked trip to Lanzarote.
Cedric - my mum always used to tell me of a horror flight from Jersey in a DH Dragon Rapide to Speke - fabric flapping off the wings and St.Elmo`s Fire dancing along the whole plane - Uurgh !
Condor Ferries rule - ok ?

The decision to start flying again is very curious. I hope they have not got it wrong.

To me, it seems like everything is normal. If you don't have a mechanic around a radial engine, then you should start worrying.

There already have being thousands of flights by now and with an extra inspection after landing so I think they got it right.

I have to say - based on information received only - that the whole thing seems to have been very badly handled.
Apart from Captain Moody`s miraculous escape back in 1983 over Jakarta when he flew THROUGH the cloud of ejecta inadvertantly,there seems to be little evidence to support the over-reaction based on the Met reports that planes would be crashing from the skies if they encountered the dust so far from its source.
IMHO
