    Historic Ruskie planes

    Went to a Museum North of Munich the other day and saw the Russian version of the Harrier along with a Mig21 and 23. Worth a visit... especially as the Octoberfest is on at the moment! http://www.deutsches-museum.de/en/flugwerft/information/

    Power / position / hobbies vs Superstition....

    I was talking to an old friend the other day, he's a doctor and freely admitted that he believed in God. I also own a pair of shorts that I used to fly in in my spare time and I view as my "lucky flying shorts". Most people don't care for superstition, but do people as they progress through...

    Alcohol tester required when driving in France

    Homebrew

    No I haven't gone mental posting this in the motoring section I'm referring to home made Ethanol stills. It seems quite a few hobby brewers have taken this up and I think that with fuel prices only ever going to go up in the long term, more and more people might be tempted to have a go. A quick...

    MG won't tick over without stalling.

    As the title says the motor runs and seems to accelerate OK but when I stop at the lights it just conks out unless I keep my foot on the accelerator or give it some choke even though the engine is hot. It only just started when the missus drove to her folks about half an hour away, it was OK on...

    One charge leading to another...

    I got talking to some Army engineers a few weeks back, (Good lads I must say), and mentioned I'd been flashed by a speed camera on my way home. One then told me how he was flashed driving an MT wagon and got charged for it... The photo also showed him smoking which wasn't allowed so he got...

    18% of the UKs' population are disabled?

    I heard this on the TV today and checked it out... http://www.efd.org.uk/media-centre/facts-and-figures/disability-in-uk How can that be right? Almost one in five is disabled? And presumably on some sort of benefit? Do we need to look at how people are classified? I realise that there are...

    The supergun

    Most of us have heard of the "Supergun" that was to "Bring terror to the world". But now the dust has well and truly settled just how much of a risk was it really? You couldn't change aim very easily and as it was static it would have been easy to attack. So maybe the sattelite launcher theory...

    Sound mirrors

    A friend asked me today if I knew anything about sound mirrors to which my answer was very little. These were apparently the forerunners to RADAR using dishes to focus sound waves to detect aircraft before they were seen. They did work to a point with slow moving aircraft but were rendered...

    Blocked filters

    Not from an A/C but this is the second time I have seen this in civvy straße. The oil became too hot and started to polymerise which blocked the filters and in this case the filter assembly had no bypass valve when the filter became blocked and the pressure started to increase until the filter...

    Swords aviation

    Has anyone had anything to do with these people? As I haven't flown for some years I was trying to organise a flight or two with them when I'm back in UK as they operate JPs. But I sent them an email about a week ago and have heard nothing. Anyone have any contacts in there?
