I simply stick with Battleship grey /smile.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :) border= 0 alt= smile.gif />

Fact is .. it happened ! true story , it reached TVNZ heck maybe have been 13 years back .

You also need the ability to turn off "lock on road", so if you happened to be looking at any of the cheap older nuvis and thinking to yourself "hey, that has a battery ..." stop looking :-) Register on the gps society forum and when you see something you think will do the trick ask there, what those guys collectively don't know about how suitable any gps unit is for caching isn't worth knowing. There are etrex-H units on trademe for around $200, I know it's over your budget but the H series have the high sensitivity receiver (hence the H) and you...

..and bankrupt airlines

QUOTE (Bazza @ May 15 2010, 11:53 AM) The obvious problem, as you mentioned in your original post is going to be the wing structures. Anything outside a small delta type section, IMHO is going to look pretty naff sticking out into the room sideways from the frame. Probably for this reason no-one else seems to be doing it. Possible solutions : Hang a pot-plant from the tip, Use it as a coat hanger. Sorry I can't be more constructive... /winkyy.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= ;) border= 0 alt= winkyy.gif /> /winkyy.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= ;) border= 0 alt=...

once again another airbus aircraft bites the dust

yeah its weird.. sometimes you get lucky and it just never says trial version, other times it says trioal version everytime you open the program. havent figured out what ive done different each time to make it happen. but yea +1 for winrar. 7zip is also good but i found it had less options (only find it out after youve been using it for a while so they are both ok)

It s used to scare the birds away from airports /laugh.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :lol: border= 0 alt= laugh.gif /> Nah! ... really - i believe it s used to test sensors on the wings in unaffected airflow , this was coupled with probe's which are coupled to the LEX stakes ,reason found it easier to graph the nose to coinside with a later XFS fighter program .

Thanks for that Jas ....its a weirdo all right. Dug up a little more about it....they call it the "catfish" Here's another one....this one is working for Honeywell Cheers

QUOTE (jastheace @ May 6 2010, 01:02 PM) Hi Guys, not sure if anyone else has seen this, but i watched it last night, was quite intresting, basically a team from northrop grumman built a model of the Horton H229 fighter. they built it full scale and with the same materials that the orginal was built to. it turns out that it wasn't completly stealthy, but it madea big difference, in the tune of only give the home chain radar that britian had only about 8 minutes warning that it was on it's way instead of the normal 45+ minutes, could have been a game changer if it had come in...

That,s true Deane , very true , but this is what happened to many after hitting ' Hitlers Atlantic Wall ' /tongue.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :P border= 0 alt= tongue.gif />

From the looks of them they are unmodified ex chopper. To turn these into jets (as opposed to turbo shafts, which they currently are) they will require new turbines and exhaust nozzles. I'd imagine you can double the asking price and then some !!

Great programme - admire those guys working in such harsh conditons. Gunna be a great series to watch.

Just another one off them Ozzie scrub fires there James , no wonder its been warm the last couple nights /unsure.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :unsure: border= 0 alt= unsure.gif />

Cheers for that Paul , Its funny , in its heyday , Christchurch International was to small to handle the biggies , wow a 707 then 747 s and DC-10 till they upgraded , that suited till the many people decided New Zealand was the place to be . the airport is now going through a major reconstruction at present and 'Ha ' the size off the aircraft drops to a third of the size . It amazing to see how much the airport has changed over my span , looking at books old photos and what i recall , the memories and the aircraft types .

Does anyone know what the URL is for the web cam that looks across to NZWN the one TV1 uses for the weather now and again. You can see the planes arriving and departing on it. Doug

Ill have to double check what im doing that day with the misses ,but i should be able to come on out for a hour before the school run to meet up and say hi ,give me a day or so to make sure and ill let you know ,there are some others from Hamilton as well so give them a day to see your post .. mike

Ive had blank and live cases go down my shirt. Neither is very nice.
