Talking of 2 of them, anyone seen hyd3failure and crossbow online at the same time? That little conversation between them earlier may have been a smoke screen (6 mins between posts), and they both joined their services in 1976 (we think). Post if you see them online together!

The Catholic Church says it's OK to use crossbows, but only against heretics and unbelievers...........

Sorry, isn't this the History channel?

I retract most of my earlier post apart from the bit about TP's. (Folding wings and I agree about that.) Crossbow you are an embarrasing pillock with absolutely no credability and whilst clowns are fun for a while, their strange humour doesn't last for long. You are the weakest link, good bye.

Being a relative newcomer to this site, it has been quite amusing to observe the vitriol being hurled at Crossbow. However, it brought to mind a 'put down' that I once heard a stand-up comedian deliver to a heckler, which went as follows: "Sir, God ruined a perfect ar*@hole when he put teeth in your mouth!"

Most appropriate I thought.

Based on his last post, and assuming that he's not Hyd3failure in disguise, I'll lays odds he's an engineer on the UAS 'cos he appears to know sod all about anything that deals with EF at Warton!

Checking it out with my engineer chums as we speak!



Jindabyne,

Thought you told me that you had decided to stop engaging tossers on here?

crossbow and hyd3failure must be considered front runners for this months Pprune Recognition of Activity Trophy.

Hyd 3 should possibly get a lifetime award.

(groanworthy, but it came to me as I was reading hyd3's latest on the pizza Lynx thread)

Guys. Ive been watching this for a while now and I can categorically state that I am not crossbow. There are currently 735 people viewing this site and the fact that I am logged on at the same time as that pompouse g1t is coincidental. I dont come from warton, Im not in the Air force, I don't fly FJ. Its clear from my name which aircraft I fly....

...just thought, maybe its not clear. There maybe lots of aircraft with 3 Hydraulic systems. Seaking for one, although they call there No3 system the utility system. Anyway - its the Lynx. The worlds fastest helicopter. The Lynx is the bird for me...que sara sara
