Thanks, big D ...I reckon we will see you :thumbup: :thumbup:

Tragic loss, RIP. Surely the harshest flying environment you can find? Taxing both personnel and equipment to the limit, which you only really establish once you find it. The loss of capability also no help with the ongoing battle of the blazes.

Nothing against them - the Royals do no great harm and a great deal of good...I just wonder who Morgan will attack next, now that he has been deprived of his favourite prey.

Cheers Guys. I've been into all sorts of sports ... skydiving some 20+ years, rock climbing and motorcycling (road and track) when I was younger. Flying, of course, a fews years back around the Waikato and now I'm in ChCh I'm "this close" to completing my PG2 paragliding certificate ... yep, any which way my preferred location is the sky :)

Bit late to the NY party sorry but same to you fullaz and everyone else. My NY seems to get a little quieter each year, I think my 10yr old was up later than me this year :D Despite the lunacy that is the events in the middle east this week I hope the dust settles and people of influence can see sense and think of the rest of us for a change. Fingers crossed we all get to see in 2021 :rockon:

A time when TREES become an ecological nightmare...rather than ecological friends! ...and an explanation for the cause of the problem...>>> Paul.

It's a time to remind ourselves, (if we didn't already know it), that we all stand on an extremely thin skin of boiling hot rice pudding, the contents of which can erupt and devour us, and everything else, at a moment's notice! When one takes a peek through a slice of Planet Earth, it's amazing that the; "Earth" as we call it, exists at all! We are very lucky to be standing on the "ground" which surrounds us all! ...I am forever amazed by it all! Paul.

Hello Chums! Its Winter-time here in Merrie Olde England, and northern parts of the USA, so its time for you Sun-bathing Chaps in the lower regions, (hemispherical-wise), to observe some of our two-wheeled goings-on in the Motorcycle World, at this frosty time of the year!...>>> Time for Winter-Woolies, when on the saddle! Take care Chums, as we dream of hot weather! ..... :lol: ... :lol: ... :lol: ...! Paul... B-) ...!

Having followed the disastrous Wildfires in California every day on the news, Mike.... ...you are getting a basin full of it now! Worrying times! Paul.

Floods in England and Firestorms in Australia!...>>> Time to be on the alert! Paul.
