C*ck.
Steady on there mate. We nearly had an outbreak of peace, love and harmony on the thread. Actually, it was down to another triple driver (Ah no, he flies the Queen of the Skies now...I sit corrected) who started the whole Fast Jet thing - look back down the thread. Bit of forename confusion there - but then, the first time I flew the triple driver concerned in the back of the tractor - and frankly, kicked the arse of the Wok driven by BD - he clearly thought my first name was Huey - at least, he presented me with a litre of huey in a waxed paper container when we got back to the pumps at WW. It was like one of those health smoothies you can buy at Sainsburys....only made with Stilton. Nice.

The last few posts aside (which I can't begin to work out) is it just me that feels more than a little uncomfortable at the pointless hatchet job on Bob Davy? So what if you don't agree with his opinion?

Why does that grant the right to dish out endless, needless, unnecessary abuse? The bloke gets paid for his opinion... live with it or write something better yourself.

Shame.




(bring it on)

Ok, it was me, I admit it. I was on a baiting mission.

I honestly have no idea whether Uncle Sideshow was on a FJ squadron or not. Can't say it bothers me either way particularly.

I know Bob and I have a lot of time for him (even if he did lose Bentley) so a chance to get one over on someone doing an anonymous hatchet job on him was too good to miss.

Sorry (although it would appear it worked).

PS: Ed, you were very gracious considering I hadn't been turned upside down in an aeroplane for about five years!! Cheese and pickle if I remember correctly. Still, took Bob's advice and a Coke and a Mars bar do the trick these days.

eHarding,

After you were presented with HF's bag did Sandra take it of you and serve it to TheGorrilla as The Soup of the Day?

I have to say BD is one of the most entertaining characters I have ever come across and I have spent many hours testing medicinal alcohol with him.

Sometimes he talks **** about flying but not as much as appears on here!

Pork chop or chipolata???

I'll be avoiding that one on the specials board for a while. Just on the off chance certain flying club dog owners go seeking revenge.

Never got chance. Tried to keep up with him once on the way to the pub (the one day last year when his TVR worked). Not a hope! I was pulling G on a gentle bend on the A404 and he was still getting away.....

Ah...the Griffith 500 LW - a lightweight, stripped out version, with the weight penalty of the roof panel permenantly deleted. Mind, you he made TVR (and aviation) history being the only owner ever to spend 4 times the cost of a new panel flying up & down the M40 trying the find the old one in a helicopter. True dedication to the cause though...

About 10 of us went to a party once in deepest Sheep Shagging land. I lead the formation of cars pretending to know the way down these suicidal lanes. BD ended up formating beside me in his Porker going around the bends!!!!

One of us must be mad

Still I think life would be all the poorer without the BDs!!!
