Re: 48hr Photo Comp: A-10
Y'know what, I have never really noticed how off centre the nose wheel is - is that simply to counter balance the off centre gun?

RIAT 1991 Scans - Update 29-11-20

Canon recommended four authorised service centres. Had heard good reports on Lehmann Ltd in Stoke on Trent so sent...

I've been critical of Duxford's corporate approach in the past, but you can't have anything but respect for their efforts here. to all involved. Amen to that - just look at the ...

Re: Gary Numan-What's he up to?
On a recent Radio 2 interview (Johnnie Walker last Sunday) he said that he missed the flying and intended to return!
Back in the 80s a protest group was formed named 'GNG' (Get Numan Grounded) due to the amount of 'accidents' he had!
