I've heard that from 2020, all EV's in America must be modified to make a noise. Too many people being hit by silent EV's. Too bad they can't do something about guns. A chap at the Men's Shed told us when he was in Europe recently, when he went to cross the road, his friend, a local, grabbed him by the arm and said, "Watch out, bus coming."

You wouldn't want a disagreement to abort between the two fuses.

Yes Graeme, you're right. I'll have to wait till my source uploads some new ones, my supply has run out. Someone else can have a go for a while.

The world’s largest airplane, weighing more than 500,000 pounds and with a wingspan of 385 feet, may be the future’s most affordable and reliable way to carry satellites into space. This past Sunday, the Stratolaunch aircraft completed milestone land control tests, including a new runway taxi top-speed of 40kt.

Good on you Kasper - right again.

Like the pitot heaters not turned on on the An148 that crashed in Russia recently.

Pretty simple. All correct.

Try this one:

Right again, Kasper. If it helps, the rego is G-CEII.

Ian, I think these two forums are a couple of the busiest around. Another aviation forum/website I belong to gets around 50+ new photos per day, and is the source of many of my Guess This Plane photos and has around 2700 registered members. But in the forum section, it may be lucky to get 1 post per week. Another forum may go a couple of days without a single post.

That's not what it says on the register.

I was 24 when I got my PPL, 42 when kids and life got in the way. Getting retrenched when my employer got taken over didn't help.

HITC, The U2 in the second photo is airborne, just about to land. The black image is the shadow on the runway threshold. The ghosting ahead of, and behind the aircraft and shadow is because multiple lenses are used to enable the 3D view. Stationary or slow moving objects are snapped so closely together that movement is not detectable. However, with fast moving objects, the subject moves slightly between exposures. When the images are merged, the ghosting is visible. This is most often noticeable in photos of helicopters with rotors turning. A three blade rotor can come out looking like a 9 blade rotor.

There will be no menu on the left side of the screen. Have you looked at the Off Topic tab, which shows what the new site will look like. It has already been changed, but remember, it is still in development and will change. It's funny. When I talk about spelling and punctuation, I keep getting told "It's an evolving language." But when this site is modified, people start throwing hissy fits, saying "That's not the way it was". It's an evolving website. Build a bridge and get over it.

I can't see how it makes any difference having it together - it's just another link tab that you can ignore.There are lots of sections of this site that don't interest me, I just don't click on them. Just as there are threads which I may look at once to see what they are about, then never visit again. If it makes it easier for Ian, removing duplication of maintenance, etc., then he can get on with other things. The same goes for the other site. I visit it daily and have made over 1200 posts there. But there are forums and threads which I have not interest in, and don't look at. In fact there may only be 5% which interests me, but other sections, like Female Health and Beauty have no interest whatsoever, but it doesn't matter to me that it's there for those who are interested.

Well, had a couple of short looks at it. Going to take a bit of getting used to, hopefully shouldn't take too long, just finding out where things are.

So the new format has already been introduced/installed for Whats Up Australia?

(PS. I added a new item in the Media section.)

(PPS. I also note that the "What's New" function works like the old "What's New 14 days", ie lists read and unread. I personally prefer that.)

?????

Happy to do what I can when time permits, Ian. However, it's got to the stage where I need to supplement the pension, and I am investigating doing some on-line proof reading, a lead given to me by a well-known member of this forum. It works a bit like Airtasker advertised on TV. People advertise a job and you bid for it. I need to check out terms, conditions, commission to the source, tax implications and pension implications, etc. Also, SWMBO has lots of things she wants done.

As in the past, once I become familiar with the new site layout and function, I would be happy to develop a Frequently Asked Questions section, eg How do I post a photo? How do I start a new thread?

The red and yellow aircraft in post #405 is an SNCAC NC.858S. This aircraft is based on the Nord NC.853 - major production version with twin tails and Minié 4DC.30 engine (29 built). The 858S was re-engined with a Continental C90 engine. A military version, the NC.856 was used for artillery spotting.

Was my initial thought too, though would seek the facility at MERREDIN.

:angry:Dog collars....er, mobile phones...how the Mrs keeps track of you. She hates it when I leave it at home. And pest calls worse than spam emails - creditors complaining that my payments are overdue. I primarily use it to text the codeword to the Cashcow, but the beggars never call me. Everybody else, but not me. Damn! I used to have one of those little basic cheap phones where you had to press a key up to four times to type a letter -PQRS-. Just swithched to an old hand-me-down iPhone 5. Still getting the hang of it.

Akin China Southern's College at Merridan WA?
