centrifuge
 

Anyone know whats happening about a new centrifuge for the RAF? Are they still going ahead with one at Henlow?

I don't think the Henlow one will ever spin. Not built quite well enough I seem to remember.

No final decision has been made yet. They just keep going round and round...

Perhaps it needs one of Uncle Tone's Spin Doctors.

Subject to LEAN Old Boy.

Training moved to Alton Towers.

I don't think you should use such frivolity on such a heavy subject. This is a very weighty matter.

Gee!

You lot just don't understand the forces behind this heavy issue.

Apparently the project is a complete disaster. That won't stop the government putting their spin on it though.


Personally I blame the ex government lobbyists and the revolving door policies that keeps them close to the centre of the action.

It's a matter of money, this cent frugal government say there is not enough money to go round.

Let's hope we can turn this one around. We need to unite and generate a force to be reckoned with. I will ask the chairman of my local Rotary Club to get his members to apply what pressure they can, with all possible speed.

I understand that MoD continues to go round in circles over the issue and is under heavy pressure to maintain clear vision on the weigh-a-head. Personally, I think it all revolves about the centre being unable to jee things up. A grey area indeed.

I heard there were troubles at 't mill and the management have started a loc out.

Sounds to me like another case of some dizzy air officer reinventing the wheel.

It's strange we haven't heard about this before -- must've been a media blackout.

...or a case of more tunnel vision in planning?

The one at Farnborough seems ok, even if it is about 500 years old. Shame we have to pay QQ or someone to use it...

Last I saw a few years ago now, the new building was up but the power required as the motor started up was HHHUUUUUGGGEEE and the supply wasn't robust enough.

The only solution would be to bring in power direct from a sub station that lay over several fields, a small town and a motorway.

Not surprised that it's not working cos no-one has a few trillion pounds to finish it. But it's ok because it was a 'smart procurement' project

Maybe I'm just getting old and crotchety, but it gets my goat when people ( particularly those who should know better) write about pulling "G" when they really mean "g".

Sad, I know - I really should have better things to do...

Reading all of these puns is making me feel faint!
