Neil_S Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Pair is a singular noun - hence :- "Please be careful where you step, a pair of glasses has been lost." Same goes for phrases like "a family" or "a class" -- they are each a singular entity made up of multiple people. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ozzie Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 This Chippy has a Lycoming IO-360 fitted to it. It was also on a "test" flight apparently. Stinker of a day, i plotted the Density height at around 4400ft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rankamateur Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 The pair – aged 30 and 39 - is being flown to John Hunter Hospital. She got so much right and we are picking it apart over a two letter word, this forum is becoming so precious lately, I don't know how some of you survive in this imperfect world. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

planedriver Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Both is, and are, can be present tense. But as the lass didn't go to school when some of old farts did, we'll make allowances that despite are, being more accurate as two were currently being conveyed, she has to be congratulated for probably the most concise report i've read in a while. At least it wasn't another Cessna, or ultralight. She should get a job with ninemsn, the daily news would be far more readable and accurate. Haven't seen any pics of the Chippy, hope it's repairable, and the POB are ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Planey, there is a picture in the news paper link that Cosmick put up, it looks like it's ears are a bit limp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

planedriver Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Thank you rank, looking very sad, but probably repairable, so long as I don't have to foot the bill. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
