Reminds me of flights to London where all the smokers once jockied to take turns in the back 2 rows of a 747 for a smoke, then coughed their guts up like me, 😜 while returning to assigned seats.

That was interesting Brendan. Thanks for posting that. Flabergasted that a giant aeroplane weighing 42 tons made those trips. What would they think of todays aircraft weighing 10 times that and travelling at todays speeds? They'd no doubt think we were bull sh*tting. Such is the progress of time. Bet they never got a plastic cup of coke and a few pretzels for inflight munchies..

Enjoy your trip Nev. Didn't realise you were also a gambler. Been let down and bumped so many times i've learned my lesson. They won't get another cent fom me. 🙏🙏🙏 PS This in only wishing you get a safe flight on time. Nothing to do with Air Lingus who used to have a priest bless the flight before departure 🤪

Many may have heard that Qatar has offered a new jet to President Trump, but they also had one to offer Biden. https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=2776208065906568&set=a.1308508166009906

A mother and her very young son were flying Southwest Airlines from Kansas City to Chicago. The little boy (who had been looking out the window) turned to his mother and asked, "If big dogs have baby dogs, and big cats have baby cats, why don't big airplanes have baby airplanes?" The mother (who couldn't think of an answer) told her son to ask the stewardess. So the boy went down the aisle and asked the stewardess. The stewardess, who was very busy at the time, smiled and said, "Did your Mom tell you to ask me?" The boy said, "yes she did." "Well, then, you go and tell your mother that there are no baby airplanes because Southwest always pulls out on time. Have your Mom explain that to you."

This to allow passengers to be warm when they travel, by unpacking their case and then wearing 6 jumpers and a warm winter coat to make it all good 😜

Hardly worthwhile, might as well delete post. Sorry about that. Rgds planey

Not always prudent to push the boundaries into the somewhat unknown.

I've always felt a little more comfortable flying builders planks than ceiling fans. Silly terms maybe.😜

Whatever happened to the quid, soverine, crown and half a crown to say nothing about the poor old thuppence and sprazee?

Very sad outcome. Although i've been in quite a few, personally, I dont like them much as I feel they rely on on too many parts which could go wrong, go wrong. Maintenance demands seem far hight than what i'd prefer. Simple things generally seem more reliable to me. That's just my personal feelings.

That was a real feat back then.

Back when I worked in UK for an electronics firm, I was involved in the final test and inspection for many huge control panels built for the British Navy. All the wiring was pink. Thick bundles of it! Can you imagine what a headache that was to sort out all the wiring mistakes from the factory floor? It's no wonder i'm a bit nutty!
