There were at least two live bombs and live fuses at RAF Cosford while I did my armament training!

It's the forum that belongs to The Vulcan to the Sky Trust - you need to be a member of the club that supports Vulcan XH558 to access it.

Referring to it as 'The other Side' of the 'Dark Side' is tongue in cheek, a lot of IA members are or have been members of it.

From the dark side, you will see many things, enlightened you will become young SnailRFC.

Mayfly is the mistress of the light side, the farce (yes farce) is with her. Of great knowledge she can impart about bang sounding devices. Hmmmm. Knowledgeable indeed....

Sod Prozac, that's just an escape route that I don't intend to take!

Don't make it seem so bad, you spend all evening on here reading then mum kicks you off saying you spend to long on here. You then take it out on me and will because you can't have your computer and accuse me of 'mumbling' when really you just can't keep up with the argument!

Tom you make very little sense with the written word sometimes, hearing you attempt speech must make your father cringe! :p
