QUOTE (Charl @ Dec 19 2012,5:40 PM) Mmm it's a very old joke and I think some of the numbers would have changed somewhat over the years... Meanwhile I recently upgraded an interesting iPad App called Flightradar24, now you can point your thing at the overflying machine, and it will tell you what it is, and where it's going! Thanks for the HU- downloaded the free version and installed on my Iphone ...will upgrade to pro

Yes, hence the quotes around emigrated. The story is that my family, suddenly "disinherited" of their lands and estate by a large group of angry people waving pitchforks, torches & other assorted weaponry, had the privilege of gracefully exiting the country in a dung cart that also had a load of straw (extra...

QUOTE (HamiltonWest @ Dec 17 2012,6:10 PM) Correct Now i wonder if they would do that over my place three weeks before .. more important than Judkins whacky race ... my birthday ... yeah yeah always thinking of myself /tongue.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :P border= 0 alt= tongue.gif />

Long haul flying is really horrible, it was glamorised the same way smoking was, by fresh-faced models who didn't partake much in the product. Imagine trying to simulate the experience at home, all the things you have to add: dry air recycling 517 brands of infection, queues for the loo, plastic food, oh it's a long list... Thank heavens for the interwebby thing, it's changed the need somewhat. Having said that: The front end of an ANZ B777 in that herringbone layout, is as close to flying perfection as you could hope for. As to the big 'Bus, depends whose it is. I tried...

Hey Marty .. the CCCouncil chewed down our .. more the fathers neck about our TREEHOUSE ! .. from the Sockburn over-bridge it was easily seen for miles - i really mean miles ... the structure tho ... we could have housed 15 people in it , course tree climbing was required .. now wonder if that is still applicable today /rolleyes.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :rolleyes: border= 0 alt= rolleyes.gif />

QUOTE (AdrianPetford @ Dec 8 2012,1:26 PM) I don't envy you, Marty. I found the whole experience of seeing the red zone very unsettling last year and that was just looking over the cordon. The thing which has stuck in my mind ever since is how the traffic lights constantly flash amber, on and off. Glad I was able to visit the brilliant Cashel Street restart mall right afterwards, an ingenious new hope on the edge of the wreckage. Two of the people people tragically lost in the Auckland tornado yesterday were building what will be my niece's school in a few years' time and...

A very interesting looking thing , was an article on the news last night about the Chinese build up in the Pacific and through Indonesia , Timor ... i'd love to be around in another one hundred years with this country building or increasing their arm forces and everyone else cutting back .

QUOTE (Timmo @ Dec 1 2012,2:35 PM) ha, I have no problem with it to be honest I do. The people who should do it are never the ones who do, and the people who do do it are never the ones that should.

And a lotta spear time , maybe a stargate or a wormhole to get to place a lot quicker .. space the final frontier .. is that weird or what but i love it /tongue.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :P border= 0 alt= tongue.gif />

Very interesting set of photos. Good find.

The cockpit is a far cry from the original 1980s design , not sure if they were used but a Christchurch printing firm was working on the displays , they were printed and as thin and lite as a laminated photo .
