What is that Gainesy, a DH9 or a two seat SE5? The tail doesn't look SE5ish, but the engine does. One of Alan Cobhams firsts??

Could this grow in to a Pink Headsets kind of a thread with BEagle as the main character ??
Has anybody else noticed the different, softer side of BEagle on that thread before it was closed? Full of "Dearest Princess" and "Dearest Pinkster". Mmmmm!

I don't think it's a UFO. It's a beer can thrown out by Beagle the pilot; looks like it just ricocheted off his observer's head in the slipstream.

Can't blame Beagle for that though, I'd need a beer or two to be trying that sort of stunt.

I don't think they did canned beer in those days. It could be bully beef, or BEagles's false teeth!

Greetings you libellous so-and-sos!

First, it's a Brilliant Silver SLK320, not barbie pink! But driving with the top down (that's the car's!) in certain parts of the world (not that would frequent such places) might prove risky.....

Ah - the Pink Headsets saga. The dear lady and I are good friends nowadays and it's a pity that the thread closed. She was extremely ill a few weeks ago and lost her Class 2 medical, but is now in top form again! Or so she says!

Haven't been on the net for a while as I've been over in Das Reich for a couple of days actually doing some paid work for a change - but am now waiting 4 hours in FRA for my flight back to the UK late tonight. In Seat 1A, of course! Then a blast down the road to British West Oxfordshire - and no effing toupee to worry about either!

What's a wine bar? I've heard of Yates's Wine Lodge which is where predatory females oop 't Nawrth go 'cloobin' - is that what you mean?

Bierkellers are rather better, ich denke!

Seeing as you mentioned it...

Here's a gratuitous posting of rather well composed picture. If you look closely, you'll see there's already one unmarried mother looking for the father of her baby...



I notice they hadn't painted enough yellow lines on the roads...and kerbs, that they had to do the posts as well

Beagle does have his lucid moments, usually just before they give him his next round of meds.
I think he got his ass flamed by some 22 year old female loootentant from the USAF, that's whay he is so anti American.

There Beag's I took the heat off you, all of you can now slag the Yanks and be one happy Brit family again.

Seat 1A, eh - when you're my age, all those freebies and air miles will eventually dry up BEagle. But one keeps travelling ----- not in that pinky car though. Air Miles courtesy of BWOS almost done, what can I now resort to? Please help.

Devil

Well well,
Boghead - I think the votes are well and truly in and I guess an acknowledgement that you and that other plonker ‘Dryloser’ are in a minority group might now be in order. Now I could be rude and say that Beagle is somewhat of a BOF at times - but what good would that do. I don’t always agree with Beagle’s views but what I will always respect is his valued contribution that he has made to many that frequent this forum, particularly when it comes to factual and extremely useful professional aviation advice and anecdotes.
You on the other hand, have provided a cheap source of amusement but have nothing to offer when it comes to anything of substance. I respect your right to post here, but for goodness sake come up with something worthwhile or go back to your airfix kit or collecting tail numbers or whatever it was that got you interested in flying in the first place.
So in answer to your question – no, he doesn’t…… but you might!!
Kind regards,
JR

".....you can now slag the Yanks....."

Don't know about slagging Yanks - but I do admit to sh*gging the odd one or two!
