but I suspect their aim would be something more like this and less like what happened http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/technology-science/technology/pilot-draws-enormous--air-5325316

as long as the auto pilot isn't running on any version of windows I'll happily get on that plane.

Sure is odd what's going on on bbc news just now. I feel rather less trust for the pilot of my plane now. I shouldn't, it's irrational, but it's the way it is

In a few short weeks I've to get to London, make my way from the city centre to Heathrow and board a flight and be on it for half a day have a little stop in China and then back to flying for another day. I've only been on an aircraft once before and never been to China or my final destination. What could go wrong?

You need to hire a project manager and 5 'compliance officers' to watch this small project.

I can only imagine they have a real orchestra playing the hold music when you phone up as well... not the same bloody recording of Vivaldi So cheap they couldn't actually afford the whole piece either, just one bit looped and then a message saying 'sorry we're not sorry you're waiting please continue to hold while we drive you little more insane' they are a set of restraints, some eye drops and a film of people waiting in line at a job centre away from having fully implemented the Ludovico technique to drive people away from trying to claim what they're entitled to. maybe a bit early to be watching A Clockwork Orange but its a nice film.

Only half an hour till staff arrive and I can call up and make a doctors appointment. Co-op manages to open at 6am but the NHS not till 8:30 inless it's life threatening.

This one will fit on a set of wheels from a Bachmann 43xx and take it's motor and gears. for fun...

We could maybe throw it into the new tidal lagoon in Wales when finished it'd make a good hiding place for the fish once all the oil and poisonous stuff is removed.

but there is a historical arguement in both cases, it's been longer in actual fact since we saw a peak being cut up than we've been able to see one run. We are railway enthusiasts, but I'm also a bit of a scrap enthusiast, I'd like to think there's others out there to, are we to be denied out historic recreation of something being scrapped?

needs a floater left in the pan... otherwise that's one of the most beautifully accurate models I've ever seen!

used to be the people would have the idea for the railway raise some funds and go looking for an act of parliament in support of it, now the politicians write the act gather the funds and plan the railway, meaning there is a gap between political wishful thinking and what people want or need locally. And if they try to start locally and attract governments attention, like Cedric going to the NWRDA, they'll be told nope sorry, doesn't fit with our national 5 year strategic rail plan that the ever changing minister for transport has come up with on his lunch break.

However Fife being on the North shore of the large river with the already busy bridge, Dalmeny quite firmly situated to the south of said large river, which led to the movement of the coal traffic to the Alloa route due to the bottle neck created by this very pretty but frankly increasingly unfit for purpose bridge... conclusion if we add more train via that route, no more space on the bridge becomes a problem again.

where do we send our donations to pay for this scrapping effort? I'm sure there's actually money to be made from offering to let people pay to cut it up, scrap man for a fiver day.

Whoever did it would need a healthy bank balance and a lot of love for Class 45 diesels. but stranger things have happened, Galatea has raised steam, someones making a baby deltic from a 37, I'm in no position to do it myself but I'd go bet on someone else doing it.
