Looks like from the Hogan's Heroes clip
Now in modern times I wonder if USA is going to sue China for copy the electronics in their jest apparently stolen for Australia.

OMG When are you 'impressed' (not that this was or should be my or anyone's aim should it )

Reminds me of something the queen would say - "We are not amused".

Anyone else want to throw stones in this glasshouse of a chat forum??

Pickles.

Now you stop agreeing with me Pickles....it's just not on

They should still be flying.

They could be.

Somewhere previously I wrote a thread or a post on the rebirth capablity of this fabulous aircraft.

But it came down to new toys for the new boys.

At the time just about the whole of the ADF had gone through a complete transformation of top brass and the old bastards were gone....it was open slather for the new brass and the government.

Oh well, in retrospect lots of people are happy they have gone.

This thread is REALLY interesting,...85 County's knowledge is incredible, and "banter" never hurt anyone.
Good stuff, Pickles.

thanks guys but he is actually correct, which reminds me next time anyone is passing 14.369031, 105.783012 could they be so kind as to do a altro carrier service and pick up some items i left there, not much some hair skull skin and bit of brain matter a couple of litters of blood, a sizeable hunk of my leg and 1/2 my nose. i would really like my nose back because the plastic insert replacement gets very cold in winter, gave me hell in Russia, its actually not much better in SA. and its always friggen bleeding. mind you its been a couple of decades now so i would imagination it will all be a bit ripe. maybe two or 3 plastic bags would do? just tell customs on the way back that's its not really animal products and it is certainly not for human consumption and you should be ok, but if you get a fine i will fix you up for it.
i could even trade you some suviners i got from there. my boy just pulled another one out of my back last week. i was wondering why my back had been so itchy for the last 6 months or so. i was rubbing it on the door frame when my son said there was blood every where. so he had a look. he wanted to put a plaster on it for me ( so cute hes 8 years old now) but he said there was a white thing there. brave boy he pulled it out. amazing how FE gets calcified in the body after a few years. certainly was bigger coming out than going in. any way my boys plasters didn't do the job and after a couple of days and with yellow stuff running out and staining the back of my jeans i took it and went up to the doc, who swabbed it and chucked in a couple of stitches. i didn't like his comment and his wanting to count all my stitches and scars and silly comments like i look like i have been in a war DUUHHH.

must be some form of mandatory reporting for doctors because i had a call from ASIO again

any way i added it to the collection i keep in a hand painted bowl on my dressing table along with my boys baby teeth, umbilical cord and his foreskin.
happy to trade?

on second thoughts, i sort of do not need the blood, its sort of has been replaced buy some other buggers at the time, probably a little slant eyed bugger, so i guess that makes me almost one of them? sort of cool really, i like it.

I note your inconsistency in choosing to point out only ONE side of any 'perceived' inappropriateness / offensiveness - a real level playing field you run on there mate...all for one and one for one.

You clearly chose to understand only one definition and to condemn one of many 'offenders'. That's unfair and I am entitled to point out your GLARING inequality in judgement.
