Good morning Ian, that was probably the double decker A380 doing a side slip landing into the wind where it lands side-on and turns it’s nose straight into the wind in the last possible moment, with amazing skill and daring from the 2 pilots....eeks!

Morning all - cool and cloudy here but at least that pesky wind has gone - together with its chill fasctor.

Was a lovely day yesterday with wall to wall sunshine and only a little breezy.
That was until it was time to retire for the night.
The wind got more and more gusty and the boat was rocking and groaning straining on her mooring ropes

Such fun

You haven't gone back on the sprouts diet again have you

Ethiopian Airlines, new planes and the A350 was half empty with lots of leg room. 2 cooked meals along the way and plenty of movies to watch. A positive experience, although I skipped the lunch as it was a hot chicken curry, everything sprinkled with red peppers and madras ....

Today I am collecting the 75, thank you Peter and the mechanic who has been looking after it, thank you very much guys

Have a great day

Welcome back to Blighty Phil - I hope you've brought some sunshine with you

Evening all, 'Orrible cold windy rainy night out there, The heatings on full blast.
It's been shopping day today and my missus has done us proud!
Three Sirloin steaks reduced by 45% on the reduced shelf So I did pan fried steak, garlic mushrooms/onions,new potatoes and knocked up a white mustard sauce to go with the cauliflower, Even had Jeff's favourite veg, sprouts.

It’s nippy here tonight, pork tenderloin madras for tea though with a Morrison’s ciabatta acting as a naan bread

Evening all, been a day of sunny spells, strong winds and heavy showers today.
Things have taken a forward leap re my van today, it was originally going to the new buyer in France at the start of next month, but things have changed and he wants it this weekend, as his transportation arrangements have been brought forward due to a cancellation. I have been and viewed a couple of vans today, one in the flesh and one online. The online one is most likely my choice, 44000 miles and 12 months warranty. The finance isn’t too bad either. It’s at another branch further away in the country, but they said they would bring it up for me if I wanted to go for it. I am not jumping in this time, as I got my fingers burnt last time, so if it’s not what I want,I will do a few days on the coaches instead of working for myself until I find the right van,

Crabbing is what that technique is often called Phil among some in the industry. Another impressive technique is aerodynamic braking which is something which I have seen best performed by the Vulcan V bomber. It is the sit up and beg display as it rolls down the runway nose up and high after landing saving on streaming the brake chute and dropping the nose onto the nosewheel gear close to the end of the runway.

Always best not to jump in Richard. Hope all goes well for you.

Lol. Sounds like Shorts with their building of the Tucano in its early days of their production of it.
