Bedford? It's an old ex-military vertical wind tunnel that was used
for aircraft design.

started their website, long before they got the tunnel operational.

I do have a horrible suspicion that, despite my prior experience, that
I wouldn't be very good at it though.

 

That male commentator. What a sanctimonious tosser.

 

You've articulated absolutely everything I wanted to say, on watching
that vid and listening to the commentary. Do you think if you and I

I also think it's in questionable taste to have the poor bastards

He landed with a bit of a thump.

 

hello, good morning, and welcome to 2004.

 

GLad you added that, cos you were starting to sound that way, you
know.

 

Heh. The constriction in the tunnel caused by those sturdy middle-aged
frames might help.

Don't want to worry you, but Mrs WUN is sitting three feet to my left,
and I just read that out.
