    Feck, I do feel old. I remember the friendship & dash-8's. Last time I went on a Dash it felt like my nuts were going to vibrate off!

    Shit, I'm only 28, I supposed to be too young to remember those birds!
    I figure car drivers must be Apes. All they do is sit in cages all day & grunt

    Obviously taken some time ago.

    I know the chap who owns that argossey, when transit had their cafe closed, I rekon I could have bloody near scored it for free, but I had nowhere to park it.
    pity, would have made a great batch.

    I spotted the fuselage from the argossey that was cut up from the air once, not so far from woodbourne, but I couldnt get at it from the road, however, someone has cut down a shelter belt, and there she stands (well whats left anyway, so both are within sight of their old base.

    That bristol wasn't so much restored, as just got going, it was exactly as it was when parked up 20 years ago.
    I poked my nose in when they were working on it, cause I saw it was open.
    the guy was quite excited to be getting it going......
    I must say the flight deck was sooo cramped, I would not have wanted to be in one for a long period of time
    Yes I know my enemies
    They're the teachers who taught me to fight me....
