Re: last of 'the few'

cheers Dan. . :up:

I had a list of eight, including both Tom & Geoff. I wont note it here for sake of privacy

The 6 remaining I could only confirm two. Hopefully that's not the case.

last of 'the few'

With the sad loss of both Wng Cmdr Tom Neil DFC & bar, and Sqn Ldr Geoff Wellum DFC in the last days.

Would I be correct in thinking only two remain of 'The Few' today ?

Lexar and Sandisk have rescue software included.

Ive used Lexar's rescue service last year after 16gb card from a Millie Miglia trip including museums of Ferrari, Enzo, Millia Miglia etc got unreadable.

Sent back to them . They retrived all images and sent a new card for me.

F35A - grounded

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-40255544

Isn't this a bit deja vu?

Did the F22 have a similar grounding issue and the 35 having a previous issue due to Ox2 supply?

Are the US using a so different system from its conventional fleet?

Re: Ridley Scott to take on Battle of Britain

Ridley is the man for this!

Anyone who thinks CGI is pooh . . look at ' Eternal Zero '.. as meniotned earlier. Seeing the Japanese fleet as it was on Dec 7 1941 is not short of breathtaking.
