Nobody who was at Boscombe Down will forget him!!!.

Also seen them up close at Dayton Show and others. Good to watch the ground stuff once. I remember getting a lot of praise from the Americans nearby when Dave Reader and I noticed a family with small kids behind us. We moved them in front of us because it was their team, not ours. Got applause from ...

Watched The Thunderbird Demo live. Was almost reaching for the sick bucket at one point. They were so wonderful, awe inspiring, brave Top Americans, the finest airmen ever.. awesome, motivated. I could go on...... I had to laugh when the robotic ground-crew removed their sunglasses in formation... I...

A very fine actor indeed!!. The Drill Sergeant in 'An Officer and a Gentleman' for which he won an Oscar for the 'Best Supporting Actor'. The first black man to win this award.

You got that right Patrick.

Sadly, from the video, it doesn't look survivable.

When I was watching it live, I thought it looked 'not normal'

Read somewhere that Karoon Chandok, Naomi S. and Natalie P. were not going to be back at tracks until Miami in May although Rachel, Ted and Martin will be there all the time.

Switched off after 30 mins.....

I have both boxed sets. Episode 9 of B of B was one of the most powerful pieces of television I have seen [Discovering the Concentration Camp]. My wife found it very difficult to watch. Very lump in the throat time. Agree with Red about Pacific.

What an amazing piece of television this series was!!. Arguably the best ever. If any of you have not yet seen it, I urge you to make the effort to do so. By pure coincidence, I was dancing [ballroom] last night, and the last waltz was to the evocative theme music. Superb.

Two types of pilots.... Those who can fly, and those who can't. He was definitely the former.

Hideous!!!

Still using my Nokia35101. Only mobile I have ever had. As Gary says, completely indestructible!!.

AH, the Golden Age of Motor Racing. So many people helped by Jim Russell. Oversubscribed grids etc., Good days. We meet friends in Wetherspoon in Bury St Edmunds every Wednesday morning. A great watering hole. Pay your money for a mug, have constant refills of tea, chocolate etc. Made more friends t...

Accidentally missed it all with all the Skiing, F.1 etc. B....r!!!

Agree with Roughcutter. Pretty gung-ho and corny, but some very unseen [by me] footage from way back when. Ignore everything apart from the aircraft. Very dubious flying techniques for an 'Ace Pilot' like putting the flaps and gear fully down way to early in his C.130 when doubtful of making the run...

RJAF silver 2 seater flew past my cruise ship in Aqaba harbour 6 years ago. Lovely sight and sound. Very close to the ship.

Best one at Northholt was a Pan- Am 707 that thought it was arriving at Heathrow!!!. Long, long ago.

7.30am on a week-end morning, picking up the airfield keys from the Guardroom [R.A.F. Halton}, opening up the airfield {I was the only one there} Refuelling Bedford 3 tonners from jerrycans, daily inspection on 3 V.8 Glider winches, refuelling etc. Hitching everything up, again on my own, driving th...
