Sorry, skipped through this at high speed, the wings are SAS. Pointing up slightly is 22, pointing downward slightly is 23.

Agree with all the other info, but could this Whirlwind photo be Radfan? Or at least the Djebel?

Don't hit me if I'm wrong....

Interesting post....agree with the sentiments expressed. It's been a difficult few years, for a lot of reasons; I am willing to swallow a lot of things, but the one thing that I still get p"ssed about is the Early Release Scheme. All these scumbags back on the streets after good men died and ot...

(sound of fishing reel running out)

Good bait, Goldie...worrying number of bites, though.....

You're right - but the only time you can get 'total commitment' from a politician is when they are committed to rubber cells....

Good thread though GW, cheers.

We'd like to tell you.....but we'd have to kill you afterwards.

If i may join Wholley in saying:

Piss right off, you smug git ye.

GW, I can see your point from a tactical survival viewpoint - my objection with the tone of the commentary was the 'revenge of God' message, that implies that 'we are better than you - your life is forfeit'. If I had lost friends among the many US soldiers killed in Iraq, I dare say I would be coldl...

Join the Royal Engineers and do both.

Translation: "No-one we give a sh1t about was killed in this bombing. Maybe. Who cares."

Hello mate, welcome - designing what exactly?

(hope I'm not going to regret asking.....)

This person isn't from the UKIP by any chance?

This reads like a call-waiting msg at the Samaritans.
