I think there are two different radars working together. One for the bearing and one for the attitude.

I am not sure it answers the question.
That is PAR. Precision approach radar.

I honestly do not think that he will. IF he did that would of course make them Prince and Princess. Albeit 'Princess Henry' but a pound to a pinch of whatsit she would call herself Princess Meghan.

Don't know why it appears to be upside down but it belonged to the Late Princess of Wales.

Morning folks. 8/8 cover first thing now breaking up. Safari camp for a few beers. The CCTV hasn't worked since Feb. We paid for a new power unit which was installed. Cameras work now but the replay doesn't work. I phone practically every day. He promises to come but never does. Now they have sent m...

Afternoon folks. Thatching finished. :-bd :YMPARTY: Nearly a month. Looks good. Nice guys. We can sell back the unused grass but the estimate for the bundles was pretty accurate.

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread VI

Afternoon folks. Sunny and warm. Told the thatchers not to put the bundles of grass on the garden each side of the steps going down to the library. They have now put them on the steps and are walking on the garden. ^! They finish tomorrow.

I used to teach the physics of Diana's crash.
It's worth pointing out that people in First Class are at more of a risk, and more of a danger to others, than those in the cheap seats.

Re: Won't wear seatbelts..aka Princess Diana Syndrome

I have said this before and I will say it again. These people who do not keep their seatbelts fastened are a danger to others. I don't care about them. The fatality may have been cabin crew.

I just hope we can get it back on again if the water ever comes back. I don't think that any of the thieving little blac...
