AD – you must work for one of the paying companies - we had to use Grease 7 cause Vaseline aint cheap in the quantities we needed.

MF – Not sure about happenings over Whales – but Wales is the land of my fathers and part of Afrika is where I am.
But must admit never really played on C-130’s – UK CAA have BIG down on them

Well the story....it's too shocking!

Why would they (RAF) then p1ss on the country of your fathers? (More than one - I personally only had one - you must've been spoiled over Xmas )

The next King....Charles (not ATC speak) is after-all now the Prince of Whales!?

Ah – heard about that – but I was told it was South Africans – who stopped as soon as they realised those black faces looking up at them were miners on the way home.

Charlie = Prince – yeah, but only by default – Next King – umm Charlie the third - sure he’ll be as accepted as his predecessors.

BTW – wonder if we’re in contention for the biggest thread drift award

Nationwide flies to the UK, don't they?

You see, drift is relative to the prevailing winds that in return may lead to precipitation....in a way also applicable to spitting in the wind you see.....

Yes let's stay with the topic, one can barely "Cantoun" one hand, the amount of airlines that actually managed to start up after rumours of their existance first surfaced in Africa.

You see, we always stay on the topic, even though in a Whaleish accent. (now where did Mrs. Mystic put my Gaelic phrase book) All I remember from that was what I learned from Sean Connery - I suppose it means "Good day, How do you do?"

Here we go: Bond, James Bond! (almost forgot the )

Mystic – it’s not just SA – many people would be amazed at the number of people who actually do feasibility studies etc – even more amazed by the number of those who continue until the money runs out even after being told “your plan ain’t good”- but if some rich people want to share the wealth by trying to start airlines who are we to stop them – besides occasionally one of them succeeds.

I’m polite – I never spit into the wind – but do seem to spend a lots of time p*****g into it

On the subject of thread my neighbour reckons Cantoun is correct – from another thread it seems their doing it a bit strangely in that it seems they have crew but no planes (I always suggest a confirmed delivery date for the planes is the “timeline” for getting crews) – should I find out anything useful or interesting I’ll post it, unless they employ me and put a confidentiality clause in.

You may have been looking for iechyd da which really means “cheers”.

Oh – and yes Nationwide does fly to OK – but I wouldn’t buy an airline for one route – then again I might if it was profitable enough and the others that came with it weren’t loss makers, or I might just “take over” that route – poor cats = many ways to skin them
