Surely any HMRC communication comes through the post doesn't it?
No, a hell of a lot of it now comes via email. I think you can choose to have it sent by post, but their first choice (as with so many other organisations) is the 'electronic pathway'. Sign of the times...

A round of applause in the 77th minute at the next Aston Villa home game would be good to hear and see.

Re: Cleaning Mounted Slides

For over 40 years, both personally and professionally (for publishers), I have used lighter fuel applied with cotton-buds, with the latter then used to gently clean away anything on the slide. The fuel evaporates very quickly, so there isn't the additional problem of stains on the slide surface from...

Re: Davis Monthan Air Show 1996 HH60

Many thanks for that, I was convinced it was at DM. Back to the drawing board Chances are that you did see '239 at DM on the day. The show report in 'BAR' doesn't include a lot on non-Static based airframes, so it may be that '239 was present on the base but not on show. What I can confirm is that ...

Re: Mig-23 down - Thunder over Michigan

Isn’t that the same bird that had bits of a canopy come off during flight at EAA couple weeks ago? There is (or was) only one flying Mig-23 in the US, so must be the same. Are there still any Mig-23 flying anywhere? Maybe in Africa? North Korea, possibly Libya. I think Cuba still operates a few, bu...
