  1. That was a Classic Mick, Merry Christmas, aA Happy Newyear to you. easy-lift guy:thumbup1:
  2. Looks like Trigger time to me! easy-lift guy
  3. Is ythat where the phrase "cheeky" came from? easy-lift guy
  4. I am sure there jobs involve sponsorship from companies they rep products for. Nothing more. I suspect they train anywhere from 4 to 5 hours a day everyday. That is the reason they are in the shape they are in. When I ran competitively for myself and my sponsors I barely had time for a part time job. My training schedule saw to that. easy-lift guy
  5. Theft of stolen property, IE. Catalytic Converters, cables, etc. has been on the general increase for the last 10 years that I know of here in the states. In many cases the thieves will not even bother taking material to local scrap yards any more. Typically said thieves will sell to someone posing as a buyer of scrap metal this person will pay very high prices for said material and always in cash, no questions asked. This is the start of the "Money laundering" process. Cash is usually very hard to dispose of so Organized crime will buy commodities to turn around at a later date usually with a buyer overseas and since most larger transactions are by wire transfer to where ever the "wash cycle" is complete. A really big problem here in the states and very hard to catch and harder to prosecute. IMO I believe this to a smaller extent is where most if not all stolen Kit reported on this site ends up as well. Stay sharp and always be aware of your surroundings. Never leave any thing for the watchers to see and report for a future theft! easy-lift guy
  6. Mad as a Hornet! easy-lift guy
  7. Skyhuck, you are correct. If he had been in NYC the transit police would have made quick work of him! easy-lift guy
  8. Very nice work, Merry Christmas, A Happy New Year to You Sir. easy-lift guy
  9. Usually 1 weeks pay $$$$. easy-lift guy
  10. Back at you Marc, will be picking my daughter up from the airport Christmas Eve she serves with the US Navy. easy-lift guy
  11. Other than the one handed 660 Mistake, I believe your video was spot on. Your step by step instruction was well documented and the job was done according to spec. and the customer was happy at the end. Mission accomplished. easy-lift guy
  12. Priceless. easy-lift guy
  13. Thanks Mick, I believe you are correct. I can still remember my Father, Uncles telling me about how ferocious the Polish pilots were during this pivotal time. They had lost so much and suffered a great deal at the hands of Two invading countries only to remain occupied for another 52 years after WW II. Glad I was there to witness the rebirth of my homeland in 1991. easy-lift guy
  14. Might I suggest the US Army Drill Team, 3rd Infantry. Just took a look at the Queens Color Squadron, very impressive:thumbup1: IMO I would rate both equal, thank you for your service Mick. easy-lift guy
  15. My father was Stationed State side USAAC Ft. Mead, Maryland. He use to fly up and down the coast in a Piper cub looking for German Subs. Two other Uncles were in the Army, briefly stationed along with a few other Americans for D-Day, My Uncle Leo even brought home a bride from the South of London, "she is still alive and speaks American with a British accent". Another uncle was a medic who served with the US forces in Europe, and my last Uncle served with the US Coast guard. Some stories they told when asked, others they kept to them self's. easy-lift guy
  16. Is there a cut off date for the sale of the tickets?. easy-lift guy
  17. Thanks,Glad my Father/Uncle's could contribute and live to tell about it. easy-lift guy
  18. Stalin could afford to let Germany over run all of that land with no way to control what one occupies, he played Hitler for the fool due to his ego and the German General Staff sold out the German people long before Stalingrad. A few brave German officers tried and failed to stop Hitler. And finally I will be able to go to sleep knowing why in part this thread was started. easy-lift guy
  19. That was a training exercise for things to come. Stalin had no intentions on showing his hand any sooner than he had to. He allowed Hitler to control the war with his ego and disregarded the advise of his generals. Once Stalin could count on continued support from the UK/USA it was only a matter of time before Germany was defeated. I still wondering what this thread has to do with WSC declaring bankruptcy in 1938?. Luftwaffe if you can't tell me why can some one else? though not normally. easy-lift guy
  20. Thanks Alek that explanation works for me. easy-lift guy
  21. Funny and tragic how things work out over time Matty, thanks for your complement about the Polish esp. due to my blood line. I have little or no doubt who's side America finally wanted to side with after Pearl Harbor and TBH Our Merchant marine service suffered very badly at the hands of the German Navy before Germany declared war against the USA. FDR was playing both sides of the card between the UK and USSR for future political situations that were to take place, some did and some did not. I believe the Euro will in time fade away and as I have stated before the smartest thing for the UK to have done was to not surrender the Pound for a fanasty know as the Euro, BTW I am still trying to figure out how this thread has any thing to do with WSC filing bankruptcy in 1938? easy-lift guy
  22. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, Sir. easy-lift guy
  23. No need to apologize, I was mainly referring to non-British personnel that served during this period of time. I counted a total of 462 from at least 14 countries. Your stats regarding the number of pilots from America is more than likely correct. We did our best to make up for the difference after 7-12-41:thumbup: easy-lift guy
  24. To my knowledge the organization still exist and has branches thru out the US. easy-lift guy
  25. Let's not forget that there were many countries taking part in that air action against Germany, including members of the Eagle Squadron from USA and famous from 633 Squadron.
