Stopped biting, thats a shame, I'll have to find somebody else to bait. Could have gone on for a bit.

I thought that all the Westland Wasps were dead, but I'm told there was one in at the Covert Oxonian Aerodrome on Sunday!

Well, there's another Wasp that probably is dead now

A man goes into a pet shop and asks the assistant;
"How much are the wasps?"
The assistant replies; " We don't sell wasps!"

A development for wg-13 dummy;

He who earlier said;

IMHO, no it's not. A widow maker that is. I've been flying it for quite a long time and if I or all my muckers didn't consider it to be safe, we wouldn’t go near it.

and he is now back to flying 'floppies'.


Royal Navy Lynx down off Cornish coast, interesting report link in thread.

Simulations carried out after the accident also suggest that crew believed they had no other option but to cut power to the rotor because of a perceived major incident rather than inadvertently descending into the sea.
