Bigglesworth

Hey, we sang that song at primary school singing sessions

<sings> while riding in my commodore, much to my surprise, a little volkswagon was following me, about one third my size.

The guy must have wanted to pass me, because he kept on tooting his horn, I'll show him that a Commodore is not a car to scorn...... Beep Beep beep beeep his horn went beep beeep beeep......etc:hittinghead:<stops singing[its too out of tune]>

Is this a fresh number or has it been previously allocated to another aircraft?

And I like my number......

Reckon we could get a trading system? like vanity plates....

I could make a bit of money with mine, but it wouldn't be worth it: nothing can make up for the loss of a good number....

All I can say is that I asked for a an interesting number, with a few suggestions, and got 19-5222. I like it. The .222 is a good gun

Lucky B:censored:tds,

Here I was thinking that just because I could find the time to build a plane, I would also have the time to fly it........

No such luck...

She'll be hangared for a while yet, I haven't been able to spare half a day for ages. And if I did, I'd feel guilty,

Enjoy your flying while I am stuck at home cutting firewood/fixing fences, etc on weekends.

How about the international sign for fuel

Reading the news, it struck me that I might get more if I took a vow of celibacy......

As a matter of fact, I think it originated in Canada, the first part anyway. That's how I read it ages ago.

I was under the impression that a vertical card compass works in both hemispheres. Something to do with it not needing to be balanced horizontally. But I may be up the pole here.

Glad to see the original has changed, Arabs used to be Germans. The world is thinking better now :devil:

It was my 21st the other day, and amongst gifts of things as useful as more clothes, there was a rare gem from someone who really cares.

I love it to pieces. It hangs on the kitchen window so I can thing of lots nicer things than doing the dishes.

An outrage, that may even be The Bear himself (you know, the one on the bottle)

I think I'd fail that test. But I like to live dangerously :)

I just got a happy birthday email from this site so I thought I would reciprocate the friendship and put out an open invitation to the party on Saturday. (it is my 21st)

Closest good strip is a fair way away, but it is possible.

PM me for directions if you are interested, and are in the far south coast NSW area.

See you there

Troy - the bubble canopy aircraft shown in your avatar has a roll bar, as does mine.I figure the canopy would be easily broken or displaced when inverted.

It is a problem. I always wonder about a swamp landing which would flip the plane, then sink it.

I think you could remove the seat and rip the fabric and get out through the bottom; if you are as thin as me.

Something to plan for I think.

Time to use the forum restarter. First insert handle "H" into socket "ouch"

Ok forget that.

How about someone has an accident and people can add why it didn't happen thinking that it actually did.

So Birdbrain is reported last seen in a hospital, with no plane left in the hangar and an ugly stain on......................................

Most of the photos here are of planes, flying or something similar so I thought I would do something a little different. I was wandering around NatFly on Saturday evening and thought I would grab a few snaps of something other than aircraft. I came up with this.I think it captures the moment as the sun goes down on NatFly for another year. The photo was taken on Saturday evening which, for all intents and purposes, is the last night of NatFly. I didn't have a tripod so I couldn't get it quite right but I think it turned out alright given the circumstances.

Ok Ian, I get the message. "If the cap fits, wear it":crying:There could possibly be a few others on these forums that think it's intended for them also. I won't suggest any names though:censored:

Luckily nothing ever fits me, I think my epileptic got shrunk in the wash.

But one kind cop said "sonny, you are lucky the bear doesn't like ginger flavoured Algy, your name might get you eaten one day, like Algy's did"

Meanwhile Bigglesworth thinks all is fine since he always called his mate Algernoon and this Algae bloke was just a water problem.

He is busy speading the news that the latest thing stolen from the OzStork files in the top of the WaterTank Hotel is that their latest invention has everything from blow-up hostesses and automatic bundy dispensers to foxtails in mink (to stop greenies complaining about fox cruelty), but no wings. They got left out by clerical error.

Totally unlike AACME's latest pony....................

Anyone get the idea that we all seem to have no idea anymore? What happened to the clear cut solutions we had earlier?

But with a question like that, who needs ideas to answer?

I propose a solution method. We ask a million monkeys and give them all typewriters, one of them will find the answer. And we will have a spare copy of Macbeth to show that flying is for the elite.

But we still have to take off on the grass beside the runway.

The new invention from OzStork seems to be not forthcoming, so Bigglesworth switched allegiance to AACME (Australian ACME) Ultra Aircraft (sic).

Their new design involved an automatic restarter which works on forum threads about never ending stories with sad endings.

Obviously AACME was no better than the rest, therefore............

Anyone know anything about this http://www.chris-sloan.com/the-human-jet-pack/ ?

Because I want one for Christmas.

Looks verrrrrrrry expensive, but a homebuilt one might work:confused:

I can't find any more on it through, just this article.

Is that a sealed battery? And a failed battery shouldn't cause an engine failure. I can't picture that as the reason.

Would it be possible it was a short through the kill switch wires which caused elec failure, and engine failure, then overloaded the battery, made that fail, which spilled onto the controls, causing delayed seizure.

Just an idea.

decided it is time for some fresh authors. Bigglesworth took on the task in an effort to stop getting called too risky but ended up being called too risque'. This was due to the inclusion on the thought experiment involving an infinite improbability drive, and bunch of cheerleaders who work for OzStork. However, before anything could happen.........

You are either very unlucky, or lucky depending on which way you look at it. It is a very sad thing, to happen, but at least you are still alive to tell then tale.

So you had a simultaneous engine failure, electrical failure, then seized controls? Sounds weird, any explainations yet?

My deepest sympathy.

Av headsets have 2 mics for noise cancelling ( the 3 way plug), which one would you use?

Listening should be fine, as far as I can see.

But the longing for the wings that normally accompany the headsets may be overpowering.
