Well, for a divorcee she ended up landing OK, and doing it in a white wedding gown as well. That's all I have to say about that. As for wearing a military uniform once 3 years retired from the military, having a grandmother who can pull a few strings is very helpful. I always wondered how Prince Harry got on an Army pilots course when he doesn't have 20:20 vision, I guess there was some string pulling there also.

There's the golden rule again - those with the gold make the rules.

Connecting i1104 photobucket.com runs on bottom of screen
No content in posts 1148, 1150, 1150, 1153.
No VF pics showing went back to page158.
Post count states 92 on all
There were picture's in yesterdays posts & before now gone, I can load sometimes & see some pics but not others post 5144 has pic so it would appear PB is either being blocked by pprune or the site has a glitch.
I am not having this problem on other sites, & this site functions OK otherwise

Namaste Captain 500e, mine is working fine. Maybe you need to delete cookies and empty cache files then refresh after a restart? Hope that helps!

Wishing all the best to helicopter pilots, your work is amazing.

Thanks for ideas @RotorBabe
I run a small script to remove cookies & cache + a couple of other files junk every 10 hours so it was PB causing problems the Post count is not them though,
Love #1552 though
