  1. Well that's the last 2 VC10s retired, no more being woken up in the middle of the night by the fantastic sound of them taking off :-(

      Loved my time working on them and flying on them. A true Queen of the skies.

  5. Just seen a TV advert for Army Recruitment. Strange i thought they were making soldiers redundant..

      They can't afford to lose the skills required to train new recruits. But the 'tap' controlling the inflow of new cannon fodder will have been turned down to a drip.

  12. I was very sorry to see the Nimrods scrapped as well, Pity Coastal Command haven't got a few Shackletons left to put up there in the meantime.... ;-)

      The nimrod gap will eventually be replaced by UAVs. Either an uprated predator or a complete new build. And coastal command disappeared a very long time ago lol

  13. People, the Nimrods were going to be retired on March 2011 anyway and replacement Aircraft (the Rivet Joint aircraft) are on their way.

      There isn't going to be a replacement for astor. The ground segment stays but the airborne segment is gone for good. And contrary to the prees the nimrod wasn't going to be patrolling over london during the olympics anyway. Plus the E3 has a maritime surveillance componenet anyhow.

  14. Last night I saw Iron Maidens 666 Tour on Beeb4. Good grief, I will now smash my guitar in astonishment!

      Brilliant tour and a great piece of television. The guy overcome with emotion because he'd caught one of Nickos' drum sticks, I felt really happy for him.

  15. I'm annoyed that Royal Mail were happy to take my friends money for a guaranteed next day special delivery knowing full well that there was no guarantee it would get there. They never even told him that there could be a delay. But they still charged him the full price.

      It is eligible mate. I know my parcel turned up only a day late and like I said previously my gripe is not aimed at the posties themselves. It's aimed at the counter staff who just took the money and didn't say anything. Why should I pay for a premium service and not receive it? That's my complaint.

      I did tell him that he should go back and complain and claim a full refund. But she is apparently a bit of a battle axe!
