Once is stupid, twice is irresponsible.

C J:

When the pilot of the aeroplane which was the subject of your rantings knocks on your door with a beautiful mounted 10 x 8 photo of your house, will you buy it?

If you buy a house at above its market value expecting it to go up in value you have paid an inflated price....

I still don't see how you can do that.

If someone else offers £200k for the house and you offer £205k then you've paid the market price, the market price for anything being defined as "what someone [sane] is willing to pay for it".

OK, if the highest alternative offer is £200k and you come back with an insane offer of £300k then you probably will be paying above any rational estimate of "market price", but surely to goodness nobody ever does that anyway.

Mega thread-creep!

Gertrude and Jofm5, do you think you could carry on your discussion down in JB, or something? No offense, it's a very interesting topic, but this thread had just started to get very funny, and it's been hi-jacked big time.

Back from the seaside

Well, we went to the coast ,there were a lot of craft at groyne level,but they were Javelin racing dinghies doing the Euro series,so although numbers were highly visible did not think they counted.
Saw a few Chelsea Tractors (4x4,nearest they get off road is Waitrose),taking up wide spaces in narrow roads.
Heard several DFL's,(Down from London)
BUT no aircraft at all,of any shape or at any height.
Mind you this was on the Suffolk border so maybe they have all gone up to Norfolk again?

Note to Gertrude,
The traditional small houses near the beach in one local seaside town became so expensive,the council built a housing estate to provide affordable homes for the locals,including the fishermen,as their cottages were priced off their affordabilty scale

Sorry ,I won't post any more of these inflammatory messages

Here's another low flier.

And to make things worse, he's doing it with a massive oil leak.
The engine's obviously about to fail!!

Perhaps that's why he's chosen that nice green field to land in!

They don't come much lower than this..........

They wouldn't be laughing if they had to pay the bill

Low flying

I read the official report about the low flying 'Red' ( I have flown with them BTW...) and the pilot apparently left the choke out, hence the smoke and the poor ROC.

this is what you call low flying....

Really Low Flying Jet Fighters - Video

am particularly concerned about the bit when he has a look at this map to see where is going.

and for a bit of the flight, it looks like he is in ground effect.....

They wouldn't be laughing if they had to pay the bill

Mate, they're laughing because the wheel that fell off (causing them to decide to land wheels-up) landed on the CO's car
