Draken55 - I can trace my ancestry on my mothers side with very good confidence to around 1780. DNA studies of archaeological digs in Strathnaver suggest my forebears have been there or thereabouts for 5000 years. Doubtless with a bit of Norse cross-breeding, I'll give you that but I think we were all there prior to thon New Zealander chappie, Santos-Dumont and the Johnny-come-lately Wright bros. Its not all white settlers in Sutherland, though sometimes it seems like it. And yes, I appreciate the point you make about folk who move into the vicinity of an airport and immediately start moaning about the noise.
Just because the area has been abused for a long time does not make it any better. Strange logic, there.
Green Granite, we are NOT the same race, what a cowardhly cop-out.
Wrathmonk, had you bothered to look at the links pertaining to the flight-sim I do some development for you would see that it is ENTIRELY voluntary, ENTIRELY free of charge to ANYONE who wants to download it and neither I nor anyone in the project will have ANY financial benefit from it. Your cheap little jibe about funding my PPL on the back of information given freely by members in Aviation History and Nostalgia (thank you again folks) is totally unfounded and frankly you owe me an apology. It is also quite ridiculous to think that any potential profit from a flight-sim add-on would look at paying for a PPL. It wouldn't even pay for the petrol down to Elvington to look over the Victor in question. Idiot. Nice to know I annoyed you enough that you need to go trawling through my posting history though :-) Win.
