I have one in stock here - it's a monster, alright..

I have to say that I never saw them in there - other places, perhaps.....

According to Rudel, it was his plane of choice, right to the very end, and with 513 tanks removed, he seems to have known what he was talking about. There's a bit in the book where he mentions being shot down yet again - and it was for the thirtieth time, but he only mentions the interesting ones... He was never shot down by another aircraft, always ground-fire. I haven't had that many punctures!

Lambe's is no more - great memories of standing in there in the pitch black whilst the Guards gave some old biddy a lift to the train just after 'closing' time... ..beeping as they came over the bridge, so that they wouldn't be seen to have seen the place still open at that time..
-
It needs a crowd of lads in khaki dust-coats sprinting from it - towards Lambe's at Ballybrophy....
-
Hans-Ulrich Rudel's Stuka Pilot is a good read.
-
Follow it up with Robert Graves's Goodbye To All That... ..give a clearly reasoned explanation of how to get shot 'safely' - to avoid getting killed properly..
-
Ever read the book? You'll never use a spade again, without thinking about it....

Should keep it going for a while..

If there's heavy traffic, they sometimes use a motorcycle for quicker access - hopefully not forgetting to put a helmet on...

I don't think the dog is a poodle, I'm fairly sure that he's a Bichon Frise. Accuracy matters - sometimes.....

The last picture in this sequence - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/in-pictures-26382720 - a great shot.....

Turn that Sergeant round and let's see if there's a pony-tail.......

Ballina-Manulla train hits An Post van
Broithe replied to Garfield's topic in What's happening on the network?
I live a few miles from where this happened - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hixon_rail_crash - a 200 ton transformer hit by a train doing 75mph. Thirty years later they replaced the crossing with a bridge. I've never been a fan of level crossings - at least, not on high-speed lines.
-
It's not really predictable what load the rail will take in an upward direction - too many variables..
-
It really is one of the better shows - big, but not huge - far less manic than Warley - and fairly accessible from most of the country. ..and only a couple of miles away..
