Ah, difficult choice. It's a bit like when you're eating your favourite meal, do you leave the best bit first or save it for last? And there again, sometimes the anticipation is better than the experience itself.
I remember reading somewhere about a study the RAF did when they thought they might have to fight Spitfires in the Israeli Air Force with Lightnings. It was found to be difficult to shoot them down with heat-seeking missiles because of the small heat signature.
There's far more to it than just land availability. Even back when I was talking to GOSE and other planners the figure of over 2.5 million homes in 10 years was mentioned but when I asked where the money was going to come from all I got was blank looks. Multiply 2.5m by £150k average price and see what you get.
Thanks, I'll set my recorder for that. My dad was an LAC in Coastal Command during the war and was an instrument technician in Mosquitos as well as Beaufighters. The aircrew used to say that they preferred the Beaufighter going into the attack and the Mosquito on the way out.
I don't quite follow that logic. Whatever, arguing over a technical difference is not really significant. I think we can all agree that the economy is bumping along at a an uninspiring level.
The bastards got in my way yesterday. Laval was closed to through traffic from 10:00 to 14:30 and we had a 50 minute diversion with the caravan. Why couldn't they have waited so I could drive across?
