For those interested in things flying, including the BoB Memorial Flight, Farnborough International Airshow kicks off in a week or so, 17th to 23rd. Buyers get in first and lookers on the weekend. Deep pockets required as an advance ticket is £22 sobs and more on the day. On the menu The Red Arrows have already been prating about, and Mrs 9 called me today to moan about all the noisy big things roaring about above disturbing her day off . Have to keep an eye on her till it’s over as she had a great great uncle who got killed at the Little Big Horn! No.9
Dress up as a rich Arab and maybe they will show you a good time at one of the hospitility tents. I did not get the part about Little Big Horn ? Did the Indians take over Farnborough ??
”Dress up as a rich Arab” Hmm…….maybe I could go as Sheik Ya’money, or Sheik Rattlandroll? Re have the Indians taken over Farnborough, no they haven’t - yet. I just don’t want her to go marching over to complain about the noise – like her great great uncle did when he was out fishing in 1876. No.9
LOL! Biggest laugh I had in weeks!!!! I can imagine; "Hey chaps, could you turn it down a chat. You scare the bass away!" Lake little Big Horn was always known for its tranquil setting...
Could you also imagine the prospect of a 5 foot 2 kilt-nasty standing on the runway trying to swat a Tornado GR4 with a rolled umbrella . No.9
Boy talk about something getting lost in translation I was thinking your wife's uncle was at Little Big Horn in North Dakota when General Custer got wiped out by the American Indians ! That is why I did not understand the last part of your first post.
You are right TA. He was at Little Big Horn, but not with Custer. He was fishing in the river and when over to complain about the noise. No.9
