minutes of bliss today. The temp was low, the sky big and blue and the wind
about 060/5.  I grabbed a PA28, two of my kids jumped in with me, and I

violent & race hate
That person has been posting extremely racist posts all over the newsgroups
& I thing it is disgusting that he still has an account. Surely he should

Any idea what a yellow blue BN reg g-chez or chaz would be doing drifting
around Chester Oaks shopping centre low level with a large camera nacelle on
its nose ?

Just a bit of a lurker here but thought I would mention the public
information films at The National Archive.  A couple of really good
