Are you casting aspersions as to the sexuality of me Little Awesomes?

Errr....Burnley's in Lancashire, innit?

Perhaps someone secretly knows that A380s will be banned from using Gatwick Airport....!

Personally I'll be bloody amazed if they ever manage to get the thing off the ground in the first place - it's one helluvan ugly lump of an aircraft if you ask me....

Jon

And then there's the new trains that wouldn't fit in the platforms - where was that, East Coast Mainline or something?

That's just plane crazy (ha ha ha ha!)

Think the one you're thinking of might be when GNER decided to hire 2 or 3 Eurostar sets for the London-Edinburgh run.

JonR - It's not as ugly as, nor as big nor heavy as the Antonov AN225, which has been flying around the world doing heavy-lift since the 1980s. It will fly.

Funny you should say that, Isaac, I was thinking of an Antonov-type aircraft when I wrote my last post!

I was in engineering and marketing. I was the director of a company that made induction heating generators, mostly for the welding of tube and pipe - 200kW plus of valve power. The company was taken over and I found myself surplus to requirements. I had been building speakers as a hobby, so...[/QUOTE]

Fair play for making a business out of it :MILD:

No bloody plane looks like it should leave the ground, its just not natural.

He he he - reminds me of that Bond film (which one is it!?) with the chopper that blows up, and the two guys - "If God had wanted us to fly, Mr Whit, he'd have given us wings" or summat like that

Ian - you're probably right - but why couldn't they hire IC125s or something that's KNOWN compatible???

Dom,

I believe you're referring to the two assassins/gay lovers (!), Mr Kidd and Mr Wint, in Diamonds Are Forever!

For the record, of course

Cheers,

And lets not forget the french naval aircraft carrier, pride and joy of the entire french arm forces, state-of-the-art, equipped to the highest standards, cost hundreds of millions, runway too short for the planes too take off and land.

The french have armed forces?

Can I remind you all that whilst these jokes are very funny, we musn't poke fun at the cheese eating surrender monkeys across the channel

They have been responsible for many great things, wine and food especially, they have shown their appreciation for modern culture by giving that pinnacle of American culture Mickey Mouse a home, and lead the way in both public holidays, and creative reasons to strike.

The French we salute you :kneel:

LOL. I think Renauld will be after your blood

Isaac - that's wicked!

Lordsummit - bringing us full circle back to the magnificent (as in achievement. I accept that it isn't the greatest looker) Airbus A380, which is partially French.
