Post a photo, sounds interesting this. To be honest you are unlikely to have cracked the chassis going over a speed bump. Sudden failures don't usually result in cracks. The important thing is where does the crack start from, usually it will be a weld or a hole and obviously has to be in a high stre...

when i worked at Prodrive, based at the Test track on Former RAF Honiley, there were a number of "incidents". The best being, when i was working very late one night, a security guard came round to check i was still alive and stopped for a brew and a chat. Then told me the story from the night before...

Just got in from being with my accountant all afternoon, he had a look at the accounts as posted and here are his comments. For many years the VTST made a surplus. The surplus had to go somewhere and it does not show on the balance sheet as cash. It is normal in charity accounting to include a reser...

TACAN I may well be wrong and apologise un reservedly if i am, but can you explain where the surplus cash generated for the previous 8 years is accounted for. Item 5 Financial review on page 9 states that £670,521 was written down as depreciation. My understanding is that it is written off against t...

READ THE ACCOUNTS. page 10 Quote 5. Financial review ( continued) Reserves Policy The trust's reserves policy is to build up unrestricted funds in the form of committed or available cash to a level equivalent to 12 months of expenditure, that is about £2 million. In the current economic climate it h...

Now i'll rake up this old hobby horse. VTST have 1.7 million sat in the bank at the end of 2009 on which they earned over a grand interest, so its real cash. they had 2.2 million sat in the bank at the end of 2008. They state their aim is to always have 1 years operating costs in reserve FACT. that ...

to be honest the normal process is not to take a big wage at all, for tax reasons. the norm is to take a small nominal wage, then take a share dividend from the profits of the business. and hopefully bang a bit into your pension. The norm is also to lead by example and only take from the profits, af...

allways read them, makes fun reading. but people don't like you pointing out stuff in them. Such as Robert plemming being on a salary of £72,000 or the fact that the trust is sitting on a slush fund of £1.7 Million and still begging for cash. Lots of good stuff in them, but as i said people don't li...

i had some in a pie for lunch, i wish you'd said earlier

Does it really matter if we lose her forever from the skies. Is it really such an icon of British engineering, what aspects make it such. It can't hold a candle to Concorde for example. Yes me and everyone would love to see it keep flying and have donated over the years with that aim, But the busine...

The first thing i would do is implement a ruling that defence spending has to be spent on UK products, designed and built in the UK by UK owned companies or at least more than 50% Uk owned. The point being that UK ltd is skint, the only real way to generate cash is to produce things and sell them. T...

1211 detached flight - Swadlincote. 78 to 83 got to Staff cadet level (yellow shoulder braid ). still can do the funny turn with the Tee and The Vee etc etc. i remember camps at Binbrook and Newton. used to love shooting the old 303 rifles and represented the squadron at Proteus, but didn't win or a...

a triangle and triangulation are completely different. a triangle is a geometric shape having 3 angles bounded within and 3 angles externally. triangulation is a process which takes 3 bearings from north to a point of transmission, for this you need direction finding equipment in order to establish ...

couple from me, can't remember which dump these were on.

The most famous use for the Vulcan test bed was of course as a test bed for the Concorde engine flight test programme. http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=http://www.transportarchive.org.uk/aimages/G1633.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.transportarchive.org.uk/getobject.php%3Frnum%3DG1633%26searchitem%3D%...
