    F111 only had 33000 lbs of kero which it could run through in 10 minutes at full AB :D

    I think it's better for unsprung weight to have the motor not mounted on the wheel....just a guess though

    That’s a surprisingly small amount for an aircraft that had decent range.

    Do you really think a plane washer ever got to see the fuel gauge?

    They would be out for 3 hours on normal bombing missions but in the US trips we would use the in-flight refuelling from the KC135 which we eventually bought
    I think one of our boys tore the boom off a refilled in the late 70s ..... easily done when you doing about 200 knots and linking up to a service station

    Hey Steve, what do you think of this ?

    https://www.news.com.au/sport/cricket/england-reacts-to-world-cup-controversy-as-aussie-umpire-claims-officials-got-crucial-call-wrong/news-story/621e09f333a3db53f235bdc1f2f1f843

    Typical poms, can't win anything correctly and didn't win the world cup either, ****ing cheats

    This is the first time we haven't won I think :p

    Can't wait for the Ashes to teach these bastards a lesson in good manners ....... I'm sending over a packet of sandpaper for Smithy and that dope Warner to "hone" their skills at ball polishing :p

    And let's not mention how the poms have been cheating at cricket for decades by using vaseline from their eyebrows to keep the shine on the ball FFS ... sanctimonious tw@ts

    I feel sorry for the first time in my life for the K1W1s, they were dudded by a bunch of cheats

    That is interesting. I wasn’t aware of that rule, but it seems pretty clear they should have received five runs and not six, and NZ would have almost certainly won in that case. I think Stokes hitting the ball was accidental and I’ve got no issue with that, but the umps made a pretty big mistake afterwards.
    I’d be pretty pissed off if I was a Kiwi, for shure.

    The Poms for a long long time have been playing right on the edge of - and many times outside - the rules and spirit of the game.
    I’ll never forget the antics of Broad and co when I was there watching the Ashes in 2013. He is a total **** and a cheat.

    Can’t wait for The Ashes. I’ll be watching it all, and I reckon we’re half a chance to win. :)

    From a certain movie and it pertains here^^^^^^

    Smith: Um, for those of you who never done this before, I think I better go over the rules. Um, first thing to remember is there are no rules.

    I think one went for $200K+, but it was fully restored (don't know what "modified" means), and at the top of the boom

    Best early VW car IMO was the 411 LE, I had one for 3 whole days once upon a time and I’ve never seen one since

    Looks great and can’t wait to see one on the road but I wonder whether they should have called it something else seeing as though the engine is out back
