I still believe, as I always have, that his muscle memory reverted to the JP, and that's the profile he flew.

A great show indeed. Ended up at Newark on the Sunday instead. You knew you was onto a winner when it coincided with Indra Dhanush..

Mine in Waterloo, Merseyside covers Henry Melly who made the first ever non-stop flight between Liverpool and Manchester. Melly and his passenger A. Dukinfield made the flight from Waterloo sands to Trafford Park in just 40 minutes on the 17 July 1911..

Re: Another quiet day

Is anything interesting actually based at BD anymore?

Any of you guys spend time after dark?

Obviously its history is the Area 51 of the UK, but is that now just a long gone Tin Foil Hat Wearing rumour?

How can anyone blame Liverpudlians for distancing themselves from England when they get this level of abuse on a daily basis. I've made a lot of friends during my time in the R...
