Royal Tattoo Earls Court

We stayed at Halton overnight. I just made up the numbers, marched up and down with a bugle, which I couldn't play, did ...

Re: Friday Jokes
Reminds me of when I was working for Tektronix. We did a range of TV studio and transmission test equipment. Released a new product - a Vertical Interval Test Signal generator VITS, which apparently is quite rude in France.

Re: Unapproved parts scandal/scam - AOG Technics
Remember big unapproved parts scandal in 1996. Helli crashed in NZ and in ensuing investigation rotor blades were found to have come from a crashed helli in South America. All sorts of noises emanated from Oz and NZ DCA. In GA avionics we used get parts from Tandy, Radio Parts and Dick Smiths, none ...

Re: A grave mistake
There has been talk about the total failure of Israeli intelligence re: HMAS attack. Have read recently a suggestion that Netanyahu did get notification of event, but chose to ignore it, for his own political reasons.
(edit) Will try and find the reference.

Iran issuing threats.
Things could get tricky. Hezbollah, Irans proxy, could easily kick-off their end. Iran has issued a chilling warning to the United States that Israel's war with Hamas could 'spiral out of control' if they do not 'immediately' cease strikes on Gaza - as the Israeli government warned it would target T...

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V
I note that the EU has temporarily lifted travel restrictions for bedbugs travelling to the UK and back by Eurostar and ferries. Probably bit late for a comment, but have memories of father dealing with BB's some 75 years ago. They were believed to have escaped from the arms houses, then bomb build...

Re: Afghan airman finally granted refugee status!
Let me get this straight. I thought we were in Afghan to assist them, not that they were there to assist us. Their assistance was so crappy that we had to flee the country. So how come we owe them?

Did so. If you look closely at the aircraft as it tumbles, you will note one of the windows is open.
