Sorry ATCO had to take your link out.

This begs a question that has often crossed my mind, even after re-reading the 'rules'. Many times we see cries for help e.g:-
Q. "Where can I get a replacement widget for my underwater treacle bender?"
A. See www.AceWidgets.co.uk
99/100 it is fairly evident that there is no self interest or personal gain, but is this still frowned upon?
Or should I simply not ask!

I tried AceWidgits and it says there's no such site. Did you type it in right?
Channel 556, Discovery Wings. Great to dip into but they repeat the same three programs all evening, and in total they seem to have a fortnight's worth.

Hilico that was either a LOL or you..........................nah, you can't be serious 
speaksoftly
It is a contentious issue. Sometimes the site is innocuous, sometimes mildly commercial and sometimes very commercial. For this reason PPRuNe HQ made the rule that there would no links to any site that had any commercial offers. Those sites that are of interest only are welcome.
The reason is actually easy to understand. All the ads you see around the site are paid for. Given just that, it would be unfair to allow any links to sites that are commercial and do not pay to advertise.
However, when you need a question answering, say "e-mail answers ONLY."
Hope that explains the reasoning.

No B767 Mr Blobby is off primetime TV thank goodness, he does appear on the odd kids programme although I haven't seen him in a while. I don't have kids so have escaped the chore of kid's TV. Noel Edmonds his mentor has disappeared into the mists of TV obscurity again thank goodness.
Blue Watch I presume you mean London's Burning is still going or was until last year. But I think it's getting burnt out and is probably past time it was extinguished.
Ok I'll get my coat.
But first, in terms of aviation TV programmes don't forget the Discovery channel while not available to everyone it has a good range of aviation programmes which it repeats endlessly for a while, some from terrestial sources. It's re-showing the Dambusters re run for those who missed it on C4.
