Must admit I will miss the old guy... granted a lot of what he posted should not have been posted in an Sim Forum site and I know he was warned and the fact they created a forum for that sort of thing, but he kept posting in The Pub... tis a shame he did not heed the warnings and back off from posting like he did...

Is it me or does the Fury look a lot meaner than the rinky dink Sabre ? I know why as just finished Strike from the Sea a good book all about the attack series of Naval jets starting at the good old Spad up to the F-35... good reading all told. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Strike-Sea-Aircraft-Skyraider-1948-present/dp/1580071325/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1310932695&sr=1-2 Link is to the book on Amazon.co.uk

As it is a Sunday... A distinguished young woman on a flight from Switzerland asked the priest beside her, "Father, may I ask a favour?" "Of course. What may I do for you?" "Well, I bought an expensive woman's electronic hair dryer for my mother's birthday that is unopened and well over the Customs limits, and I'm afraid they'll confiscate it. Is there any way you could carry it through Customs for me? Under your robes perhaps?" "I be glad to help you, dear, but I must warn you: I will not lie." She nodded and accepted the risk. "With your honest face, Father, no one will question you." When they got to Customs, she let the priest go ahead of her. The official asked, "Father, do you have anything to declare?" "From the top of my head down to my waist, I have nothing to declare." The official thought this answer was rather strange, so he asked, "And what do you have to declare from your waist to the floor?" "I have a marvellous instrument designed to be used on a woman, but which is, to date, unused." It took a moment for the customs man to absorb the statement, but once he did he had a hard time keeping a straight face as he called out, "Next!"

Hope everythings okay over there...

Congrats must admit I had problems when I got my new machine as it was running Win7 64bit but found the answer installing in the Programx86 folder and all works wonderful... right where's my Strutter...

Greetings Herr Olham, Making Scones is fairly straightforward I have a few recipes if you would like them, son of a Baker and being English its in my blood so to speak... as to the Jam easily sought as I have found some excellent jams here in Austria the clotted cream though is a bit tougher though you could replace it with standard whipped cream its what I do here in Vienna...

Well if you hadn't ahem borrowed it from Mr Poe then who else ??? I think Mr Poe is ideal for the dark times in which we fly...

Thanks old Chap... as to posting my qualifications whatever next ?

I normally do a fast and loose shoot the heck outta everything drop any bombs and run for home... works for me but most times I come home in the proverbial flying sieve... I normally aim for the tents etc with the bombs and gun the planes up if I can...

Well this answers a question that I was pondering on the BOC medal that was floating around on some peoples signatures... I don't know I go away for a couple of weeks and come back to this... whatever next... P4 Dare I say it... By the wonderful writing going on there...

The Reason the UK Military in general pays more is because unlike other armed forces we end up buying just the airframe etc and giving it the the Old Boys club that is BAe etc and then they install all the kit inside it and charge the UK military for everything and charge it double and saying it does a better job, when in the long term generally it doesn't for example the Chinook HCMK2 which was supposed to be glass cockpit etc but they couldn't get it to work and they sat in storage for 8 years when Boeing had the ones for the US Army with glass cockpits sorted in short order... There are also other things the SA-80 would have been cheaper a lot cheaper to buy the M-16/M-4 and there would not have been any problems, granted BAe do make some good equipment when it works, but when it comes to the UK Military in General they shaft them for every penny they can get. Type 45 Destroyer anyone 3 times the cost of a Burke class DDG with half the weapons etc etc... As to the RAF becoming part of the Army or Navy which one of those 2 services controls it ? Because if either do they will set it for their priorities. Granted the RAF does at times do stupid things Harriers anyone? But it should stand alone as there are jobs it does that the other services dont do, anyhew of my soapbox again... oh and I spent 10 years in the Army and Airforce... Navy made me seasick...

Please tell me it will also take those fake Goths out as well... Emo's or Emu's or whatever they are...

I vote Option 1 as well... as the Anatolia Terrain covers Turkey et al...
