  1. Posted by flight1 on 14/01/2018 21:35:12: It is alwas best to have one anti virus software running on a pc so uninstall all of what you don't need. I use Windows Defender which is built into Windows 10( you just need to activate it) and its free never any issues i have noticed and then I run the free version of malwarebytes from time to time, also to keep things clean i have ccleaner to clean things up from time to time, with the last two if you pay then it ithey run automaticly I do the same as you, flight1. I use the free MS Defender with Win 10, and run a free Malwarebytes scan to catch PUPs.

  3. After all, the "experts" said Donald Trump would not get elected as President, and here he is as an a example of how the common man can shine as a great leader and intellectual business man, a "genius" as he describes himself. We all feel humbled in his presence.
  4. I concede, and go with the weight of opinion. It's like arguing about Brexit, we all "know" we will be better off out of the EU, the only people who say we will be worse off are "experts". And what do they know, hey?
  5. Obviously no one on this forum understands the difference between primary sources and secondary sources.

Romans ? what did they ever do for us. The reason why we got the Elgin marbles from Greece and the Needle from Egypt was because we were civilized and were beginning to understand art and history. Earlier societies did not care, such as the English destroying Hadrian's Wall to build cattle sheds. We took these items to preserve them. Primary sources are precious. History is not important to most people, it seems.

But we have everything to complain about. History should teach us:that was then, hopefully we do things differently now. If we can't learn from history, it is a very poor situation. The Kittyhawk was one of the most complete, primary resource, artefact, discovered from WW11. Now it has been destroyed by morons. That's jingoistic nonsense. The aircraft in question is simply an example of a particular weapon of war that's been well documented. The real tragedy is that search for Sergeant Copping's remains was badly mishandled. Instead of offering a Spitfire perhaps we should have offered to return some of the many ancient Egyptian artefacts that we still hold in museums & private collections. Sort of tit for tat, you think? We destroyed your things in the past,so you can now destroy ours? Okay......

Have you misread the product description or have I misunderstood. Yes, I misread. He is just factoring in his profit margin. We all have to make a living. Edited By ted hughes on 04/01/2018 13:12:52
  10. TG9e servos available online at £1.98 at Hobby king, however you can snap up a bargain on eBay at £11.25 each! Be quick, over 300 already sold!:**LINK** Seller says the servo has the same performance as servos 10x the price- I doubt many modellers use £110 servos! Edited By ted hughes on 04/01/2018 12:48:23
  11. I think the restoration is an absolute tragedy. A plane found in a time capsule 70 years after it was lost has been patched and repainted in a garish way to represent a generic Kittyhawk. I don't suppose it can be used as an historical reference now. I'm pleased we still have the Spit, if Cuban8 is right.
  12. The Kitty hawk has been ruined- and we paid a Spitfire for it, too:**LINK**

  14. Posted by i12fly on 21/10/2017 19:12:38: ........ 3 curses on the rogue company who carefully pretend to be from Dyson but aren't. I would name them but I guess that could cause legal problems. Oh and the service they did was non existant there was fluff and dirt all round the O ring and inside the machine. Beware!! If they stung you for £165 why would you want to protect them?
