  1. As for Alien, whys every body keep picking on ME? :n00b: AR bendy buses more or less go where they *** like anyway! At least they don't burst into flames anymore. Obnoxious things, fine if your driving up a great wide boulevard, just don't ask them to turn or worse still go backwards. Back on track, if the thing will bend, flags are supposed to be a killer on fuel. someone (And they must have had very little to do) worked out that two small football flags, as seen on cars a few years back took 4 mpg off the average car, so stick one on some of ours and lose about 25% of your mpg. :shake:
  2. Thanks for that guys! Phil Webb has one on the QLR, in CMV this month, so I'll copy dimensions off that. What I didn't have was any pictures of the inside working bit. It will only be for show. I'm thinking of a clamp arrangement so that it will come off when not wanted.
  3. I think that ...um, what was the question again? :sweat:
  4. If someone missed breckfast they'll find a reason. 'Oh do you reliase Sir, you could hit a low flying bird wuth that, or the best one I know'You may not drive a bus wearing a high visibility jacket! This may startle another road user and cause an acident.

  8. Compliments of Spike Milligan Outside a lunatic asylum one day A Gunner was picking up stones Up popped a lunatic and said to him Good morning Gunner Jones How much a week do you get for doing that?

Fifteen bob a week And a wife and kids to keep Come inside you silly bugger come inside.
  9. I've just been sent an articale showing the Dodge WC's had a mechanical semaphore fitted to the right side by the British. Does anyone have any info on the dimensions of these?
  10. Not a Stonefeild is it?
  11. There not Forign! There BRITISH!! However dairy products are a no no , so that lets out the custard!. Pity we can't do it by Dackota into a feild at night with torches for landing lights, be very authentic.
  12. Happy birthday , many more I hope.
  13. Last time I tok mine on a ferry the little security man came up leaned on the wing, making me wince as he had all sorts of buckles on his kit , and said 'Got any weapons?' I just said 'No just tools', and he walked away. 'They' do seem very nervous about jerrycans though, I just leave the lids up when going on to the dock and rattle them if asked.
  14. The main squack (excuse pun, PLEASE!) against the Thames Estuary is birdstrike. As usual the yank's have got there first. :-D That pilot has earned his keep for the rest of his life.
  15. Hadn't thought of that. Unless there was some sort of vacum system to brake the wagons?
  16. Is this the time to mention flag designs?
  17. A guy I used to work with Heinz Rossinger was the first British Jewish Intelligence officer into Belsen, only found out at his funeral, wish I'd known before.
  18. Start a row then! Which was the best STOL Liasion aircraft during WW2 then? Auster, the Lysander the American was it the Cub? Or the Stork? And wasn't the Auster originally the American Taylorcraft?
  19. You're going to have to put on a display at somewhere like the Bunker Bash, cheaper than the Red Arrows. :-D
  20. With Sanpper's admissions of a big event in May, we'll need an extension to the SAGA lounge, and when is the new Stannah stair lift coming? :argh:
