We are having a warm winter at the moment and you know what the climate change wankers reckon about that. It is warm because we are getting wind off the ocean and not the usual westerlies, is this caused by green house gases? probably not.

The Pie Maker economy encourages more pies to be made so that, in a lesser or greater way, everyone benefits. Encouraging production in an economy gives employment (providing income and self-esteem to the workers), tax income for governments for roads, defence, police, and a relatively small amount for the unemployed.The Pie Cutter economy is where the government tries to cut the tax pie into as many pieces as possible. The recipients represent people on all kinds of government "benefits" ...as they are called (it used to be known as "social security expenses"). The more Pie Cutters are elected to parliament, the more methods are worked out to distribute the shrinking tax take to a growing group of people who are not contributing much to the overall economy.

 

When Pie Makers are in charge, business red tape is minimised, government bureaucracy is reduced and businesses are encouraged to produce as much as possible within sound environmental boundaries. Any excess production can be exported bringing in a healthy income stream from elsewhere.

Hi Bob, yes, you're right but I didn't want to irk the Pony fans ...It's a bit ironic discovering this stuff at this stage because I'd always had a fascination for the Typhoon and never known the close family link. The part of the story that I misunderstood was that I'd thought Uncle John was transferred from Hurricanes to bombers and that would most likely have been Lancasters because of the Sqn I thought he'd gone to. It was my father's brother that recently explained it was fighter-bombers, not bombers ...

 

During some of this research I did read a paper by an armourer who described the firepower of the Typhoon when it was fully loaded. It had options, racks that were supposed to be interchangeable for bombs and missiles as well as the 4x 20mm cannon. Most squadrons tended to use either the bombs or the missiles as it turned out but some worked out a way to attach double racks of missiles making 16 in all which resulted in a 39kt speed loss (from 400kts!) so they often only loaded the inner ones double, thereby carrying 12.

 

Whichever munitions they loaded their total firepower was a little more than a full broadside from a Destroyer apparently. I don't know what size guns a Destroyer of the time mounted but it gives an idea that you wouldn't want to be on the wrong end of it.

 

One of 193's major successes in ground attack at the time was to collapse and seal both ends of a mountain tunnel while a German munitions train was transiting it ...

 

The Typhoons were the Mk 1b and when Hawker developed the successor, Mk 2, it was so far evolved that they gave it a new name, the Tempest. Such is the rate of developments during wartime.

 

Perhaps we need another thread for these kinds of story, this is a bit of a hijack but I'd love to hear of others' family or friends' aviation histories.

The thing about it is that IF you don't quite make it you are in deep $#iT. A lot lose control which is the worst thing you can do. It often rolls over the upward wing and goes in straight on the nose. If you don't make the strip you go in downwind faster in an area you wouldn't want to be, at best. Nev

Great bit of history, I believe the Typhoons had a very significant role in their few years of service. The four 20mm cannon gave a bit more firepower than a P-51 I thought?

.......... reply the Deity whipped out his wand (as he has always been prone to do, since he was a little duckling) and smote Donny Q with a mighty blow, as those Deity's crosiers are bloody heavy, particularly the ones made from jarrah, boab and sugar cane, then covered with the skins of cane toads like the one that St Madge uses.

The Laffer curve has just bitten France on the butt, President Hollande (now 20% popularity rate) is dismayed at the 'unexpected' low tax return from his 75% top income tax rate & now has a 14b euro black hole and a 0% economic growth rate.

[/url]

 

French President Francois Hollande

 

has raised income tax, VAT and corporation tax since he was elected two years ago. The Court of Auditors said receipts from all three taxes amounted to an extra 16bn euros in 2013. That was a little more than half the government's forecast of 30bn euros of extra tax income.... The figures come a week after French Prime Minister Manuel Valls, who was appointed in March following the poor showing of Mr Hollande's Socialists in municipal elections, appeared to criticise the president's tax policy by saying that "too much tax kills tax".

 

I wouldn't be surprised if the extra 2% on the top tax rate here could also prove to be income negative for the government, certainly producing a dud budget with new taxes has come back to sting them already. No, the top rate certainly doesn't directly affect me but high taxes are simply bad for the economy as they discourage productive activity which in turn effects everyone financially. Abbott himself acknowledged this - before he went ahead and raised taxes anyway.
