    Just to offset the "all let's gang up on Danidl aspect present here", his use of posting was correct and an "s" wasn't necessary. He was using posting in the verbal sense as his pluralising of the following word "indicates" shows. For example, if you'd been typing some postings and someone...

    They don't need such additional methods, they manage ok without. Like the way the Saudis lured dissident Jamal Khashoggi into their Turkish consulate, killed him, cut him up and shipped out the body parts as diplomatic packages. .

    Of course not, that wouldn't be really accurate.. Much more precise would be to say he is an ignorant, unscrupulous, deceitful and dishonest apology for a human being. Fine otherwise. .

    More nonsense from Dyson, trying to kid us he's developed a fantastic new e-car in a few months. Truth is he's suddenly realised it's far more difficult than he thought, just what happened to Clive Sinclair, another like Dyson full of crackpot ideas. .

    Help! Stretching dropout s

    Lecturing the wrong person, I first joined the trade in 1950! Re: your edit, it's not a wheel removal technique, it's a way of simply and quickly changing a tube or even tyre. As for your micro-cracking, those bikes in the two photos are still in use far beyond a decade later, the top one...

    Help! Stretching dropout s

    How I change tubes and tyres, even a Marathon Plus once! And here reshaping an aluminium rear frame to substantially widen the dropouts while keeping them parallel: Agreed it does take care and one needs to know what one is doing and have the required sensitivity, but having done it...

    See my posts just above, not the overload you suggested and with no effect on a normal takeoff. What happened could just as easily happened to us, there was nothing uniquely French about it. The link below details a number of Concorde incidents to British made ones, including a fuel leak fire...

    Extracts from the official report: " Repeating the calculations for the flight preparation showed that the estimated weight of the aircraft on departure was in accordance with operational limits. Taking into account the fuel not consumed during taxiing, the aircraft’s...

    New to Channel 5. The BBC made and broadcast virtually the same program previously from what I saw from dipping in, and all the same content had been previously broadcast a number of times on different channels. And the French court case details and evidence have always been available. The...

    You don't know that, it's only a guess on your part. You have no idea of how often a British captain will have similarly bent the rules, it happens. What happened was only one of the burst tyre events coinciding with a piece of aircraft debris from a previous takeoff causing one of the split...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I'd seen it previously. There is no such thing as an honest documentary about Concorde from a British program maker. From the outset there's been the pretence that this French design, originally called the Super Caravelle was really British, even to the fact that the BBC allowed it to be voted...

    Rubbish. That is what happens when an American cowboy welder with Continental Airlines doesn't do his job well and the debris he caused wrecked that Concorde on takeoff. He was found criminally liable and he and his company were heavily penalised. It was only luck that one of ours never...
