Norwegian blue... lovely plumage.... It is dead, deceased, karked it, bereft of life, passed away, bought the farm, gone to meet it's maker, lifeless, liquidated, mortified, no more, not existing, offed, out of one's misery, passed away, perished, pushing up daisies, reposing, resting in peace, spiritless, stiff, unanimated, wasted. Oh - did you mean that it is no longer a working model then? ? ;D ;D ;D

The interior of these choppers is nice. They could be converted into a pretty snazzy camper van, eh.

That sounds like some pretty major flaws in the floors. I guess they could sit on their helmets, age old trick but it might work. They could dispense with the seats then. ;D And I am just following the python lines. Actually the RNZAF could have problems with the seats and the floors of the NH90. Think how many members of NZDF are Polynesian (incl Māori in that definition) and the size of my Polynesian cuzzies. Picture Jonah Lomu in full combat gear and size 16 boots. I've got a nephew who is 21, 6ft 8in; 40 pick axe handles across the shoulders and not an ounce of fat on him. He's trying to force his way into the Counties Manukau Rep rugby team. Played under 20's for them. He makes Jonah Lomu look like a midget. Therefore I hope that they've taken such things into account. It's reasonably obvious to the likes of us but to thems that in the rarefied stratosphere of high level decision making; well thats another story isn't it Europeans build for European body mass & sounds like they used the Italiens as the standard and one size fits all which doesn't take the Germans into account They won't have factored in the body mass of people like the Polynesians whom they have no, or very little experience of, but who make are a sizeable cohort of our population and hence our armed forces. Being that big just makes them easier to locate and shoot. Massive size was a bonus when you were using axes and swords but with the advent of modern warfare I can't see being a big lad as an advantage.

Jesus, talk about resurrecting a post from the depths of time... The forum is practically dead, does it really matter?

Jesus, talk about resurrecting a post from the depths of time... The forum is practically dead, does it really matter? Hardly. This forum may not have the frantic noise that we’ve come to expect on social media, but there’s a steady stream of quality content, and I’ll take that over posts for numbers’ sake. I’m glad it isn’t like so many facebook groups, massive post counts with little to be learned.
