Indeed Dave...without the Net...would never have happened!...you ok?..I'm impressed with the 6m Whip...had some nice Ide!...will call you over the W/E

Thank you very much Duce...now you've made me Blub! Sorry to make your eyes moist Olham....Looks like we have even more in common than we first thought!...

Ok guys...gonna pour my heart out a little for you. Today, is 1st July 2010... and is a sad anniversary for me, as I lost my mother when I was 10 yrs old to Cancer. She was just 50 herself...two years older than I am now, when she passed away in 1971. But, Something quite wonderful happened a little while ago. After my mum died, (about 2 months after) my dad took me on a trip to my ancestrial home, the Island of Guernsey for a break. Although I had been on an aircraft before, I was too young to remember the trip, so my excitement was palpable to say the least! My excitement was further sent into override, when I discovered I was going to fly on British Caledonian Airways...I was an airliner fanatic at 10 yrs old, and we lived in Kingston upon Thames...right on the Glideslope for Heathrow airport. Well, the day finally arrived (seemed like 40 yrs to arrive, like Christmas.. as it does with children!) Holding my Father's hand, we walked across the apron, and boarded a BAC 1-11...I remember looking up at that Gold Lion insignia resplendent on the tail...wow, like it was yesterday. We took our seats, and in no time were airborne...what a fantastic sensation it was!...my love of all things aviation, was signed and sealed at that moment!! The only thing that upset me, was that my mum wasn't there...I sat and looked at the clouds moving under us...and started to get a little emotional. My dad tried to comfort me, hell, he had just lost his wife of 26 yrs too. A stewardess saw I was upset, and enquired of my dad "Is everything ok Sir?"...to which he replied why I was upset. She smiled and walked away. Within two minutes, she was back "Simon?" she said "The Captain and first Officer wondered if you would like to come up to the Flight Deck, and have a look around?" I didn't need asking twice!!!!! It was fantastic...I sat in the First Officers seat, and must have asked the captain 300 questions about everything possible...all the things I wanted to know about Dials, Needles, numbers, buttons, switches...coffee cup holders!..you name it!! After far too short a time, the Captain said that he was about to start his final decent, and that for the sake of the first Officers "Old Legs"...he had better sit back down!...and I was to return to my seat, to await the seatbelt light to come on. Anyhow, I'm waffling on!...I apologise.....but here is the interesting bit! The B'Cal advert on the TV at the time, had a song, which I have had in my head for many, many Years...I tried very hard to trace the original advert on the web, with no luck...but...I eventually found the soundtrack on an Album! I made this video a while back, and posted it on youtube .....it was stumbled across by the moderator of the British Caledonian reunion website, and they got in touch, and asked me if they could have it on their website...which I took as a great honour! I ended up telling the guy the story I have just told you chaps, and he put an email around the members...and low and behold...the Stewardess on the flight remembered the incident...and has just emailed me to say "Hi" How cool is that??!! She has, of course Long retired from the Airline Industry, but I am hoping I will get a chance to meet her, perhaps travel down to Warwickshire where she now lives. Life is sure strange at times aint it?

I can see where you're coming from Godzilla. My regret with both films was that they hashed some reality with some total fantasy, and not very well. If the directors had just taken the time to look at the earlier WW1 films, they might have got a better idea on what would make it worth watching, even with the restrictions on health and Safety. The dogfight scenes in Flyboys were entertaining up to a point, but I guess as we all have an 'idea' of what it may have been like..it doesn't match what we saw in either film, and just looked silly to me. One of my favourite films was Aces High...but again, silly aeroplanes...but the storyline felt real at least

Massive OFF fan, but ArgonV has done amazing things with SDOE...and it's a real blast..and of course..it's FREE

Tumbleweed exits stage right!

Great stuff..beats Flyboys and Red Baron anyday

I think it was no contest....they were both utter s**t

which one RC?

Made me chuckle

I wonder if Satan is in the Market for a bit of Soul Purchase??

wow!..I never spotted the Mossie!

What is with the snipe's differing tail sections

The Twin Gun Tripe takes some beating

Good Video...I uploaded a few Russian Skins in the early days of Skinning..and Finnish too Try Google Chrome Olham..Much better than IE (and Firefox IMHO)

I think George is correct...had the Land War not finished in 1918...The Air War would have finished soon afterwards, thanks to the Snipe

Nice try though Morris

It's on full Vol too...F#ck the Neighbours!

All future england matches will be moved to the gay adult channel... the sight of 11 arseholes getting hammered frequently for 90 minutes is far too explicit for the BBC..

I think video is especially useful when Argentina play eh Suicidal?

I don't think South Africa have much to shout about Morris
