Well sequenced! You start and go: Oh that looks quite reasonable Then you scroll down and burst out laughing Next you go OMG Then you go OM GAWD And so on, great entertainment Mr. 'Pin.

Meh... your Stumpies are usually so well Engineered , it just seemed unlikely that the nose intake could be ducted around the cargo area! Maybe opening the rear ramp? Mmm... no.

Great pics, the Wingman would've loved these. Yes indeed, Charl - the carrier is a good 10' long

Lindstrim, I've watched that youtube clip ...and I'm ready to operate, thanks for that :thumbup: Regarding the Kauri, somebody from the council / botanical gardens is going to have a look, and confirm that it is indeed a Kauri(it is) and start the proceedings to protect it....again, thank you.

Great link Todd .... :thumbup: :thumbup: I love this sort of stuff, thanks for posting.

Thank you gents .... thanks for looking. There will be more, but I'm flat out working and helping my partner complete some overdue study papers. This stuff has become my relaxation zone ....input very much appreciated. Thanks again .

"They just get stuck in and help people" and bless them for it ( salvation army) So much lip service these days, which in my view amounts to nothing..... these people are on the ground, looking at the problems in the face.... just a shame mainstream media and government won't listen. Will be interesting to see what the next "wellbeing" budget comes up with. Sorry to politicize your post Rob....

The older we get, the more problems we encounter where the Sun don't shine.... :unsure: .... ...both fore and aft!... :( ...! Paul..... :lol: ... :lol: ...!

Thank you, Sir ..... gawd, I'll have to go shopping :) Nice photo as well :thumbup: Its all done with Love and Pasion, Marty! ..and a tiny drop of Napa Valley Red Vino... :cheers: .... ...(just to thin the blood..you understand!)... :wink2: ... :wink2: ....! Paul.... :lol: ... :lol: ...!

More than i thought mate , but I love it. How are you going health wise?

Thanks all for the messages Unfortunately as you've probably all seen in the media the outcome has been the worst possible and my lovely boy is with us no longer - along with his good friend and work colleague. Two families are grieving along with a lot of other families in our country. The word devastation does not even begin to describe the feeling knowing our boy is gone. What happened and why will no doubt be bandied about in all sorts of forums - I have a theory taking shape myself. Please take it all with a grain of salt as after 40+ years I have yet to read a true and accurate media...

Did you hear the captain say a about the way point landing at Hanada about they got it from the Jason Bourne movie the name tread stone :D The first officer didn't know what he was talking about. :D Cheers Todd

Thanks guys. The Op took 10 hours, but his team is happy with the result. He went home today ...just before the trouble started here....and that's bloody sad as well. Still, have a chopper circling over my area and sirens .... scary stuff.

Ladies... Me?.... :rolleyes: .... I just like to watch them ride Motorcycles...>>> Otherwise, I keep well away from them.... :wink2: .... Dangerous creatures....trust me...been there...got the tee-shirts!... :unsure: ...! Paul.... :lol: ... :lol: ... :lol: ...!

Scooter, Jet packs and Speeder bikes are hazardous. lol

Ha ha, crikey I was quick :D

[quote="Lindstrim"The Harvey in Hornby was awesome when we lived there Still is apparently; bought a washing machine and a few other bits from them recently and received great service.

Bugger! There is 2 things that I take from this: No matter how bad you might think things are, there is always someone more worse off, and secondly, live life to the full because you never know what tomorrow’s “lotto numbers” might be. Fate is the hunter.

The A380 has always been crying out for an extra 10m or so ahead of the wing - you don't need to shrink 'em all :lol:
