    Baldwin - Guilty?

    So Alec Baldwin has forgone his trial by Inquest for a trial by Telly...Brave man! The scenes shown on UK news programmes clearly show some massive (and probably edited) holes in his televised story so far..."It's not me" he said "I'd never point a gun at anyone..." but evidently he DID pull or...

    If you're thinking of Joining - and are already employed.

    This is advice for those thinking of joining up having already left full time education or are already employed in a full time job. As friendly as the are - your employers are there to make money and you have a contract with them to produce their needs (as you are currently doing). As soon as...

    Visiting the USA

    I've never been to the good 'ole USA. I have been to Cold Lake and seen bits of Canada. But mainly, during 24 yrs in her employ, Aunty Betty never sent me anywhere 'nice' or exotic and never let me into her money pit of expenses like many of you. I only had one tour of 18 months where 'hotels'...

    Old Aircraft Course Notes

    Hi everyone, After many years of hoarding stuff, I'm having a clear out of notes and manuals insulating my Study so that I can get some new furniture in. Most of these books are old friends that I've referred to less and less over the years. I don't want to just bin them as some one may want...

    F35 Maintenance Contracts

    So the F35 Maintenance Contracts have been announced... http://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/italy-turkey-will-lead-f-35-maintenance-in-europe-407030/ - Engine maintenance goes to Turkey (I assume that means Casing and Module Strips, etc.) - Airframe Maintenance goes to Italy (I assume...

    Another Knock-On from SDSR

    Had a call today from our old friends in Gutersloh - well, close to there anyway. They own a string of shops providing a service - not retail - around the town and its neighbours. My wife used to work for them and my kids spent most of their summer holidays in the main shop its canteen and its...

    A bit o' pride

    After a bit of thought, a bit of string and a few minutes of sawing and scratching, I chose a spot of land just north of the West Wing of Rigga Mansion - just clear of the woodland - and, from an old Gazebo, manufactured and erected a 6 meter flagpole at the end of the Patio. Topped off with a 5...

    No Pics/Movies?

    Just recently I have no Pics or Movies as shown on the Threads - So I can't see what you talk about. Instead I get the outline, where the Pic should be, and a small X or Logo in the top left corner. I know I've seen this before - but I can't remember what I did to recover it!

    Real World Rules

    I posted some advice on another thread and it got me thinking about how you guys, still in the RAF, leave yourselves open to litigation when you sign your lives away every day. On reading the thread "No Airpower without Manpower" in the Chat Club, I wrote: Now, If your...

    Flight International 29 Apr - 5 MAy

    Has no-one read Flight Infernal this week?- All about the PFI outsourcing successes of the RAF! It reads that, far from being out-sourced like the herc guys, those nice chinook "staff" at Odius only remained employed by being merged into one big ExCREte group - or did I read that wrong? I'll...
