Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread VI
Thanks OFSO. Don't really understand what this card is. I presume it will not keep our Bots number which we need for one time pins for banking.

Re: Passengers Behaving Badly
They were almost half way there. There must be police at destination.
Why 'guests' not passengers. Were they not paying?

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread VI
Morning folks. Sunny. Got squirrels scratching away in the roof space. Plenty of poison down so hopefully it will stop. Hovercraft, now that is a good idea. Never done mobile roaming before as we have Greek cards. However they may have run out. We are pay as you go. It seems that we just dial in a c...

Re: C206 Jump Plane Down in Missouri, Pilot and 6 Jumpers Parachute to Safety
On a jump flight you can carry more than the normal number of passengers. They are sitting on an empty floor anyway and you've only got the weight and balance limitations to take into consideration. Just the fact that you've taken out the seats will allow for an extra jumper. Because of all the ext...

Re: WTF is happening in the UK?
Well said Fox. The estimate I have seen is that 40% of pupils will be removed from private schools. Can private schools run at that loss. The state education system will collapse. with the demand.

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread VI
Morning folks. Bit of cloud 25 degs. Just had the internet off for 2 hrs. It was our local mast which involves sending a chap out from town. Goats have just been for their morning watering. Have just put in an enquiry about a new engine for the ship. Ours was a rebuild and now ten years since then. ...

Re: What do I need to know, GCA?
Yes John I remember the time when the Brussels VOLMET was the one to listen too. A very sexy voice. You can be fooled though. I was operating into Harare once and the lady on HF sounded very nice. Went to see her. Must have been something to do with the distortion on HF. She was very pleasant but ra...

The pilot was wearing a parachute! Not very confident in the aircraft.
Hang on, a C206 takes 6 not 7.

Re: What do I need to know, GCA?
Boac describes the two well there. Just to add that with a SRA you are just guided onto the centre line and given distances to touch down. You work out the altitude you should be at from that. Any airfield with surveillance radar should be able to give you a SRA. Indeed we once did a SRA into Warton...

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread VI
Afternoon folks. Sunny. Took four attempts to pay the balance for the thatching. I always leave 24 hours between each attempt after paying a considerable sum twice (yet to be returned) a couple of weeks ago.

Re: The Duke and Duchess of Sussex
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.
