HI All,
Yes, young Richard, Ian will get his print room back into production as soon as.
However, this week end he has gone to help his pal re-paint a Canberra nose section. Make sure you remind him that:
a. Its not a Halifax
b. its not a Halifax
c. Its not a Halifax
It is a cold war long range jet bomber, just in case you were uncertain of the fact that a Canberra is not a Halifax. Give him hell!
I think not.
Did he pay for it?
Does he know how it works?
Did he spend a day re-installing all the software?
Answers to this week's competion questions on the back of a fifty pound note to the usual address.
Hellooo campers, goodness, it was awfully dark in that cave for a whileeeeeee... Ooops, sorry, this super fast megga modified all singing and dancing computer is a bit whizzy right now (wait till I download loads of stuff to slow it down a bit)
Right.... Canberra... Yes, I agree, it's not my typical old bird, however, there are certain mitigating circumstances that we might just allow, just this once... English Electric = Halifaxes (and canberra's) but this one WJ676 (a B Mk II) was actually built by HANDLEY PAGE at RADLETT!!
Excellent stable if I might say so, and she is full of HP inspector stamped parts and equally full of WW2 circa bits, and she is being painted up back in the original Bomber Command livery, AND, she will be sporting the Bomber Command crest on her backside, in tribute to the many, pretty soon too
So, considering these 'special' mitigating circumstances.... Comments?
Tally Ho!!
Ian
back from the dead again (metaphorically this time!)
It's not a prop engine.
It's not WWII.
It's not a Halifax.
I am unswayed by the Learned Council for the Defence arguments, and the Prosecution rests, M'Lord.
Dear Ian and Jill, A Yorkshireman and a Scot, nitro and glycerine I say.
I am terribly sorry but while you were away Cees and I have entered into a long term agreement to build a Dutch and Canadian Halifax airshow duo, death defying head-on passes and the whole bit. Because you computer went down just when we were planning all of this not only did you lose all your data again but also your input into this Halifax drama. I shant tell you the cost of such folly if it happens again. As Christopher Plummer said in the B of B movie "CLEAR!"
Good to have you up again (or is that your line Jill)
ttfn, Karl Kj.
.... should get a grip and stay focused on the job in hand - comments?
Also, the Canberra is powered by a jet engine. Jet engines are unnatural. If your car suddenly started spewing flames out of the back, would you "oooo" and "aaahhh" and say "what a prety plane" and stick a Bomber Command sticker on it's backside? Hmmmm? Would you??
Or would you whip it down to the garage marked for the attention of the greasemonkies?
I'm sticking to my original guns which are... "If you can't find a Halifax, then a Lancaster will do" .... And if you can't find a Lancaster, then a Canberra will suffice at a push, and as for the engines.... Well, we realised that EE had made a mistake when it was produced, and to eleiviate that error, we have just simply deleted everything aft of the cockpit! Error sorted! :-)
If you can't find an aeroplane, maybe a ship will do? ...Or a lawnmower, or a paint roller...Hmmn. Could be something in this!
All those little household tasks that have been ignored for four or five YEARS could get ticked off my list, purely by use of this default logic.
Superb!
