Using the patented Mavis Beacon "Hunt&Peck" Technique, Mike Buckley

No thanks. I have donated in the past, but they don't have a sustainable
model. The thing will inevitably be grounded.

 

Sadly that's pretty much my view as well. Although seeing it flying over
XM655 while it revved up was pretty damn impressive. Less impressive was
paying for Waddington and the useless twonks hadn't got the CoA sorted
so were grounded for one of their busiest weekends of the year. Typical
of the ropey organisation that has hampered them throughout.

I'll be back here though:

and a few quid gets you in the cockpit. Cool!

 

Me too. Enough already.

 

But look what happened when I said the Flying Scotsman should be
removed from any kind of service and left in a museum: the anoraks
launched some kind of a steam engine jihad and wanted me killed.

You're better off saying nothing and let the fucker crash killing
everyone in it.
