I've been eating lamb myself the last few days at work.

 

Mum has 740 acres in the hills, couple of lambs got put down over Xmas while I was up there and my sis took one set of meat away and I took some of the other lamb.

 

Makes a good brekkie at work to tuck into a cliptop pot of lamb curry during smoko after a morning run of 550 lambs running past my knife on the line, with another 1000 due over the rest of the day.

 

Halal is the standard here too. Only difference between Halal and non-Halal is the fact the Halal guys are muslim... Just means two guys at the works are hired for their religion, otherwise it's just slaughter as usual.

 

 

Nah. Mice turds.

Deer Mice?

 

 

Doesn't matter what GOD knows, they guy holding the pen only has the ability to write what he understands.

 

Try explaining nuclear fission to a Kalahari Bushman who has never even seen a school, let along been in one, and whose only education has been Grandad showing him where lizard tracks mean there's food under that bush over there.

 

Now have him write down what you explained... Do you think a physicist would understand the result?

 

 

Canada was the main training base for the empire. If you have a look at most of the British war birds and trainers that survive today, the majority have some connection to Canada.

Great Uncle Raymond trained with the RCAF as a Navigator/Waist Gunner in WW2, before deploying to England and being shot down over southern Germany.

 

More RNZAF pilots trained in Canada than did in NZ, beyond the initial solo anyway, and nearly all crew training was done there as there weren't many bombers and other large crewed aircraft assigned here in NZ for training roles.

Can't be much crappier than mine... 2008 model...

 

Both links work.

 

 

That may be a commercial only minimum charge, given others have landed recreational there and say they didn't pay that.

 

Can those that have flown in and not paid $66 please actually say how much is DID cost you?

 

It won't affect me over here across the ditch, but I do hate ambiguity.

 

 

Must be pretty overloaded

 

 

Christchurch has a similar problem, the adiabatic winds down off the Southern Alps crash headfirst into the winds off the south pacific and it all sits muddledly over the city.

 

Chch has very strict woodfire bylaws. Can't use a long-burn overnight damped fire, or the old open fire, it's got to be one of the superclean bburning types that don't damp down and smoulder along.

 

 

I could Aliexpress a dehumidifier... just pipe the outlet into the Jialing.

 

 

A girl in Chengdu I was chatting with yesterday sent me a picture of Chengdu.

 

 

 

 

Yeah, a lot of the dole bludger ones left when the deal went through that they got paid NZ dole values in AU dollars by the NZ govt while the Aussie govt paid the Aussie bludgers in NZ the Aussie dole at Aussie value in NZD.

 

Used to be Kiwis in Aussie got the Aussie dole, which was A) more than the Kiwi dole in $ terms, and B) the Aussie dollar was worth quite a bit more than the NZ dollar. So going from Aussie dole in AU to NZ dole at exchange rates... they just couldn't afford to live on the beach any more and shifted back to Northland and planted weed.

 

 

Hot chicks in bikinis on beaches year round....

 

Tauranga is about as far south as you can go and handle the chill in spring and autumn, and as for winter, even Kaitaia needs woolies then.

 

 

Also noted in the photos was the cabin separation, this seems to happen a lot with AS 350 accidents

Fly Safe

Is that actually a good thing if the cabin stays together while separate? Keeping the ppl away from the choppy whirly things?

 

 

the chap that went round the world in a Searey used Spidertracks.

 

 

Well, there you go, and I thought it was an Aardvark.

 

and here I was thinking in the wrong scale and it was a little Jaguar. I see the pointy nose, not squared now.

 

 

Have you ever wondered why cars don't have crank handles anymore.

There have been a few times I would have been HAPPY to have a crank handle after a flat battery stranded me somewhere...

 

 

Yeah, I get around 5 hours to a tank. Enough from Chch to not quite reaching Nelson.

 

 

the first bot was serious. I believe most of the failures happen at pressure change points of the flight.

 

The rest occured with Glossial Muscle firmly embedded within the Buccal Cavity.

 

I can't see how dying strapped in place or dying running shrieking down the aisles during a impact with the ground does anything other than make the remains easier to ID from seating plans. Either way, with the cockpit door locked so you can't distract the busy drivers, theres not much point IMHO for belting you in and locking the loos for the last half hour. 5 mins before finals ought to be plenty, not from before the pilot flicks the autopilot selection from 30,000 ft to 5,000.

 

 

Have look how a dragonfly fly's. I haven't a reference but I'm sure it's around. A jumbo sized bumblebee wouldn't get off the ground , experts say due to scale effect (Reynold's Number)..Nev

But they never realised bumblebees have it both ways, their wings work both coming and going. One way only in a circular movement like a bird wouldn't give them enough specific impulse, came the days of high speed photography and the light dawned, Bumbles use a figure 8 stroke with canting wings and obtain lift on both be backwards and forwards stroke.

 

It's a bit like the case of the Kangaroo not being able to eat enough in a day to fuel moving their weight around in big jumps. The early Natural Philosophers left out the effect of the main hamstring tendon. Lift a bag of spuds of the floor and put it down, repeat... Lots of energy. Put a spring on the bottom and lift it and bounce it. First lift, more energy, following bounces require less. Kangaroos cheat physics by building in their own springs, hence the problem with the old figures of where the Kangaroo got it's mysterious ability to obtain energy from nowhere from.

 

 

(I never understood why we have to sit there like dummies for 20 to 30 mins before touchdown).

Most of the accidents due to fatigue and failures I believe happen during pressure change sections of the flight, I.E. going up and going down. So they sit you down and strap you in before they start descending a couple hundred miles out. So if the roof cracks and rips off, you're all belted in and not running round screaming like a headless chicken.

 

 

Ryanair is it?

 

 

"Ok!", replied Santa. "First step is to jettison excess weight to improve power to weight to maintain climb rate and permit a go-around and landing."

 

Promptly hitting the passenger seatbelt clip and stiff arming the CASA weenie out the side of the sleigh.

 

 

An oldie but a goodie.

 

 

Says he took command of a squadron in WW2, more likely flying a desk due to age and breaking regs to go up whenever he could.
