And there you have it.A beautiful aircraft and a simple unfussy but elegant livery all in one.I rest my case.

Elegant and unfussy livery. As it should be.

I was showing my kids old Guinness Book of Records. Nice simple layouts. Loads of information on the weird and wonderful. Easy to follow and understand. Now garish over produced and virtually unreadable. All the weird and wonderfulness lost behind too many graphics trying to compete with facechattwitagram.

I am getting far to old and grouchy. Grumpy middle aged men. Bring back the luddites.

Just don`t like Eurowhite, Air France etc is so blah1! my favourite has got to be Thomas Cook
A330 on a nice sunny day looks wonderful.

I remember an air display at Gaydon when a lightning took of flew flat and level then shot into a vertical climb I remember thinking how fantastic nothing will top that, then along came a Vulcan (not Spock) to prove me wrong.

Did someone say 'Vulcan'?
I have a few photos that I took at Duxford a few years back, although I can't remember if I've posted them on F4A before.
A phenomenal aeroplane and one of the best displays I've ever seen. Not just the sight, but the sound as well.

Regards

Kevin

Yes a superb aeroplane not only incredibly noisy but amazingly agile for its size I think that manouvrability was to do with the escape procedure after release of its nuclear payload before returning to the U.K.no doubt to find the country layed to waste!

Blues v Man Utd dog says no problem as Bristol City showed how to do it and wants to know is their manager any good rekons Hudersfied will be more of a challenge.

Potentially a great match to look forward to.

It's great to see that big Cyrille had such a fantastic send off, it seems like a fitting tribute to the great man.

Is that 30k each or do we have to share it or have I got the Wrong end of the stick ?

I do think that gap has closed somewhat over the past 12 months. Perhaps we need another mad burst like just before Primera was announced

I think Ian F is doing his best on the the R&R section to get us all scribbling to get the number above Leeds. Keep the tantalising hints coming Ian.

Yes indeed. I think I've lost track of all the different airlines/routes/regions that there are rumours about!

Yes indeed.And it gets to a point where you take each new rumour with a large pinch of salt

Living walls for Aston Expressway?

I really like the idea. All those bare concrete "canyons" are a blight on the urban environment. With the right plants it should help reduce pollution.

If they could manage flowering living walls you could get out and pick them during the rush hours

Great idea

May I also suggest some blackberries? I do like a nice crumble with custard.

I dont support them but as i have mostly lived in the north of the city and Tamworth, thats the Villa side of Brum, right ?

That's correct.The Blues fans live in Birmingham and the Villa fans outside of a radius of at least 30 miles from the Bull Ring.

What's your sport Brum X if football doesn't score any goals for you? I follow football (round and oval ball varieties) and cricket.
