@Jason10000001 @HousingFirstUK @noreward_norisk My fear is that the international community will not be permitted to undertake such trials, international law will be changed to suit the "new normal". Even if a legitimate body can be identified there will be legal battles over its constitution and powers ad infinitum.

@rawlimark Strange thought: what if we could 3-D print pizzas?

@SancastleAir @clark_aviation Boarded at Aylsham

@DC_claxton @clark_aviation Oh lovely, I believe the station building from back in the British Railways days is now a private house.

Several of my mates spent 'time' at RAF Coltishall, even before it was the prison it is today! Arguably, the 'spiritual home' of the RAF SEPECAT Jaguar fleet, I still find it hard to remember that it closed two decades ago.

@SancastleAir @clark_aviation A couple more

@SancastleAir @clark_aviation Very true - a neat 15" gauge. Found some images from 2022.

@DC_claxton @clark_aviation Done NNR more than once. Never done BVR despite not only being posted to Coltishall, I have current business on it's remains. I really should, I love a nice 15" gauge, and it is a nice 15" gauge.

@rawlimark You'll miss all those pizzas!!

@SancastleAir @clark_aviation Went on that one too - I'm easily confused

@DC_claxton @clark_aviation Coltishall Station is on the Bure Valley narrow gauge line

@LivingInThePas5 Space Oddity

Name the song Though I'm past one hundred thousand miles I'm feeling very still And I think my spaceship knows which way to go Tell my wife I love her very much she knows Ground Control to Major Tom Your circuit's dead, there's something wrong Can you hear me, Major Tom?

@OneOutOf4 The Stranglers (texture like sun)

This English band formed in 1974. ‘Golden Brown’ was released in 1982 and reached #2 on the UK Singles Chart. 👉🏻 Name the band.

@LivingInThePas5 Reelin' in the Years

Name the song Your everlastin' summer and you can see it fadin' fast So you grab a piece of somethin' that you think is gonna last Well, you wouldn't even know a diamond if you held it in your hand The things you think are precious, I can't understand

@FrankBr05713205 Thank you

@DC_claxton This is a 6 cylinder air cooled engine in a 60's Chevrolet Corvair

Who can identify what car this engine was used in? And look at that weird drive belt routing.

@rawlimark Can see the word "crucified" rushing headlong towards this notication.

@GinieSigonney 102 or 106 - always get those confused

Do you recognize this aircraft ? 🤎 . . . 📷©️credit reserved to the author

Today’s #retro #memory .. who else’s parents collected these . I spent hours licking them and sticking in books - all for a Soda Syphon . Those were the days . #greenshieldstamps

@OnDisasters Was at LAP (now LHR) plane spotting as a kid and 2 Tu-104s, one Aeroflot and one CSA - both used 'chutes then over-shot 28L.

Braking chutes in jetliners The first series of the SE 210 Caravelle (as seen in this Swissair bird) used a parachute mounted in the tail that helped slow the aircraft after landing. Before leaving the runway for the taxiway, the pilots would release the parachute onto the runway, where ground crews would collect and repack it. On arrival at the parking stand, a fresh parachute — already folded and prepared — would be installed on the aircraft, ready for the next flight. The whole procedure was quite labour-intensive and would be impossible today because of the bigger volume in traffic, but back then it was more common - other jets, such as the Tu-104, had similar devices. Later model Caravelles had thrust reversers, which greatly improved braking performance, and they got rid of the parachute afterwards.

@benonwine They Should Be (banned)

NAME this BAND?

@boomers_ass Large fuel tanks can hold more than AvGas - how about adding some extra "plumbing" to some nozzles on the trailing edge and tail cone and use for "Cloud Seeding" or something similar? 🤔🤔🤔

I mean, sure — the KC-10, derived from the DC-10, can haul standard palletized cargo really well. In fact, it can carry more weight and more pallets than a C-17. But it can’t airdrop, and it’s not a true military airlifter. So why use these specialized air-refueling aircraft in that role instead of preserving them for the mission they were actually built for?

Imagine your boss decides to buy a Ferrari purely for some company track time… Then a few years later the boss wants to use it for pizza deliveries. It turns out the car is too specialized, stupidly expensive to run, terrible at the actual job. Now imagine you have a company that owns a bunch of KC-10 specialized air refueling aircraft. And the company decides to use them to haul cargo instead of saving them for air refueling. What would you call that decision? @IfindRetards
