@JoJArmy23 @SkyNews @BethRigby Better still, the North isn't just Manchester as many appear to think. Geordies think people from Manchester are Southerners, and they are right.👍😎

@DscheyAre @DanBoone464753 @BBCNewsnight The initial turn was 2 degrees. They only turned 90 degrees after starting their engine after shots were fired.

@cultureclubbbed @KwesiDavies @LBC @NickFerrariLBC It's not acceptable behaviour whoever commits the crime.

[Ides of March @ides_of99570]

@KwesiDavies @LBC @NickFerrariLBC Isn't accepted though. Quite rightly charged and sent to prison. Not acceptable behaviour.

[Ides of March @ides_of99570]

@KwesiDavies @LBC @NickFerrariLBC Yes, unless there is anyone still living who was around in 1747.

@Chaz01BR @BlickyIan Try going from Binbrook village on a push bike. You'll notice the hill.

[Ides of March @ides_of99570]

@Chaz01BR @BlickyIan The "hole on the hill" i.e. RAF Binbrook. Term of endearment, or not depending how long you served there.

@Chelsea40953727 @BlickyIan The guy on the fin- no idea not normally done on a turnround. The guy on the tailplane I suspect is latching the brake chute cable into it's slot around the jet pipes. The suits were charcoal lined and were hot, however the respirator was the real killer especially in summer.

@BlickyIan Seem to remember being told "If I say bail out, don't say what as you won't get a reply".
Got my attention through my first flight.

[Ides of March @ides_of99570]

@BlickyIan @GavicWayne IIRC G/E fitted to aircraft was coloured red as easily seen to be removed before flight. Other G/E chocks etc painted yellow. Eventually ladders also painted yellow due to vehicles driving over them when off aircraft. Intake blanks and guards were left red.

[Ides of March @ides_of99570]

@BlickyIan @gasgasbones Might be worthwhile contacting Slingsby Aviation. They were involved with the ladder for Typhoon and I think they were also involved with the Lightning ladder.

@BlickyIan @gasgasbones The problem is with both colourised photos the intake guard is not shown as red. Even in service all ground running guards including aux intakes and intake blanks were red in colour. The process hasn't picked this up.

@Walkingafterdu @ColinBrazierTV @timdavies_uk I wonder how many people these days actually know what a fire piquet did?

[Ides of March @ides_of99570]

@The_Monarch @Hush_Kit I must admit I prefer the unpainted aircraft as in your shot. The down side, we spent many hours polishing the display aircraft every new season. I should have bought shares in this stuff.

[Ides of March @ides_of99570]

@Hush_Kit @The_Monarch No reheat and airbrakes deployed suggest that the orientation of the photograph is wrong.

[Ides of March @ides_of99570]

@Airfix Yes part of the ground handling team in the 80s when the BAE Mosquito flew in for the open day air display. Primed the engines on start and was very aware of those props too close for my comfort.

@even_thorizon @SamCoatesSky Cat Little has just shot your fox while giving her evidence. Hint, she doesn't make notes of every conversation either.

@WojtusciszynP @upthejunction28 @SkyNews @BethRigby For the last time Starmer thinks he is guilty that is why he sacked him. I don't care.

I do think you are a prize prat who wastes people's time and that is why you are now blocked. Find someone else to troll.

[Ides of March @ides_of99570]

@WojtusciszynP @upthejunction28 @SkyNews @BethRigby This one.

"but he thinks he did the right thing by not telling him Mandy failed vetting."
