RAAF A330 and a BBJ en-route to NRT this evening, just curious- why two? Nothing to do with politics as the logistics must have been worked out some tine ago. media contingent?- I would have thought either A330 had capacity or enough local TYO coverage. Back-up , possibly? Political staffers? Possibly for G7 but Quad? And in reality no staffers yet... Read More

The boss of the UK's energy regulator has warned that the energy price cap is expected to rise to around £2,800 in October. I didn’t consider myself poor but I do now. First sacrifice, my foreign holiday for next year. Actually I don’t expect a U.K. holiday either. Seems only the rich can now fly. As for a major recession? It’s a... Read More

I'm in the lucky position to rent out 2x 1 bedroom flats in the same building. Right now both have an electric immersion heater in the cupboard next to the consumer unit, this supplies all the hot water.

Should we be scared - or should we be stock piling bananas? It appears that the smallpox vaccine gives protection so those of a certain age who received it routinely - before it was phased out in the U.K. in 1971 - won’t be the priority group this time. Read More

Firstly I would like to start off by thanking anybody who replies to this thread as in this day and age forums are one of the last few places where you can find valuable information from industry experts and people with real-world knowledge rather than YouTube, Twitter and Facebook where adults and children seem to blurt out any old rubbish about a...

Would it have been a requirement to reduce the power output of this frequency's transmitter in order to comply with the 5 mile DOC ? 121.805 is unused at... Read More

It looks as though the Greens may pick up the three electorates affected by noise from the new 19R/01L. They were the only party that promised to do everything demanded by the noise lobby.

I was recently watching "12 O'Clock High" - it's one of all-time favorite WW II flicks. In the opening scene, the civilian (former Major) Stovall is walking down a London street in 1949 when he sees the same jug that (they used to turn around at the 918th to signal an upcoming mission) sitting in a shop window. He goes in the shop to by the jug and... Read More
