Treasure it forever...History in your hands...and family too...never lose it..it's utterly irreplaceable!!

Ah The Gloster Gladiator!....Immortalised in the defence of Malta against the Italian's in WW2 'Faith, Hope and Charity'....three aeroplanes forever held in the hearts of the Maltese People

Hahahaha...very enjoyable

A lovely man..very unassuming..real shame

Dowding called the Pilot's "His Chicks" Considering the debt owed by the World to Dowding and Park, the way they were treated by the RAF 'Top Brass' and Churchill's government was lamentable, and stands as a black mark against both organisations

Yes, I watched the series on TV...wonderful video....brings a lump to the Throat!

Yes, two of the best in formation!...awe inspiring

It's a pretty mean looking aircraft though, with those two wing mounted Lewis Guns!

She worked wonders for me, when I had that nasty shell splinter in my.....

Great write up (I seem to recognise one of those Alb's)

Qualifications are as useful as a water bicycle when the economy is screwed sadly.

hahahaha....that's made my day!! (The Dog Whisperer is a prog on NatGeo) he sorts out difficult and dangerous dogs...though to listen to how those women went on, you would think he sorted them out in an Al Pacino type way!!

Jeez! I have two Border Collies I love Border Collies I love Dogs, and Animals and most people So...I joined a Border Collie Forum (as you do...y'know...when you Love Border Collies) You get the idea right?...of course you do...because you are normal, bright intelligent guys. But...This Collie forum has a 75% female population... On CA, I have posted over 2,000 posts.... I like to think, that although I may sometimes upset the odd person, I am generally considered to be an OK kinda guy..you know...Mr Average...has a bit of a laugh, posts the odd joke etc etc You get the idea right?...of course you do...because you are normal, bright intelligent guys. I have only made it to 30 posts on this Collie Forum...you know...with the large collection of Cackling Bitches on it? And I DARE to mention I liked watching Cesar Milan's The Dog Whisperer!! Well...I kid you not..... I might as well have Bum F******d their Daughters!! They came down on me like a ton of Bricks!!... "Cesar Milan is a &^%()*&^^" "You must be some kind of &^%&%&*&&*^%%" The language used would get me banned here instantly!!!!! NEVER GOING BACK

Hi Lou...she sails on the Morning Tide...lol To take delivery of the 12 Harrier's that were sadly nowhere to be seen on the Day!(she was only open to the Public for one day (Saturday)...really glad I went along...and of course, my son now wants to Join the Navy!

Yes, great Poll The two voters who voted 'No' to question 5....shame on you! If we don't bring Noobs on board, OFF will become a total fanboi release!

That's very true Olham....not a massive fan of Empire's generally (except the Game of course)...but they seem to be very important in moving civilisation forward.

It wouldn't be the first time I've done that too

Don't think anyone does these days.....with the advent of Fire and Forget weapons, Air Power and Nuclear weapons, the waves kinda rule themselves. One of the guys I spoke to, had been on another ship combating Somali Pirates, and had sliced one of their boats clean in half with one of those 20mm guns!

Great tip...heading there now

I have a button assigned to Joystick..which, is labels, I flick on and off again real quick, when I 'suspect' enemy aircraft may be in the area... due to my eyes not being quite what they were.... doesn't ruin the immersion too much though on campaign flights

Had a great day aboard HMS Ark Royal, returning for a visit to her Birthplace on the River Tyne...The Geordie Girl comes home to Newcastle..HURRAH

Have to say Siggi.. I smell a Rat somewhere m8

A man walks out to the street and catches a taxi just going by. He gets into the taxi, and the cabbie says, "Perfect timing. You're just like Frank." Passenger: "Who?" Cabbie: "Frank Feldman. He's a guy who did everything right all the time. Like my coming along when you needed a cab, things happen like that to Frank Feldman every single time." Passenger: "There are always a few clouds over everybody." Cabbie: "Not Frank Feldman. He was a terrific athlete. He could have won the Grand Slam at tennis. He could golf with the pros. He sang like an opera baritone and danced like a Broadway star and you should have heard him play the piano. He was an amazing guy." Passenger: "Sounds like he was something really special." Cabbie: "There's more. He had a memory like a computer. He remembered everybody's birthday. He knew all about wine, which foods to order and which fork to eat them with. He could fix anything. Not like me. I change a fuse, and the whole street blacks out. But Frank Feldman, he could do everything right." Passenger: "Wow. Some guy then." Cabbie: "He always knew the quickest way to go in traffic and avoid traffic jams. Not like me, I always seem to get stuck in them. But Frank, he never made a mistake, and he really knew how to treat a woman and make her feel good. He would never answer her back even if she was in the wrong; and his clothing was always immaculate, shoes highly polished too. He was the perfect man! He never made a mistake. No one could ever measure up to Frank Feldman." Passenger: "An amazing fellow. How did you meet him?" Cabbie: "Well, I never actually met Frank. He died. I'm married to his f******g widow."
