    Jack, the only thing I can think of is, that this was the day GC changed to the V-Bulletin set-up. :)

    Why do you ask?

      I have NO IDEA that is why I ask
      At the bottom of the login page it says most people ever signed on at one time was 26/MAR/2011 1162 at 12:24

      I just wondered WHY What did I miss

      Ziggy naked day on the calendar ?
      Victoria EMIGRATED to Portugal ?
      JWK Flashing in his erected bean pole system ?
      Sheals last flight on Concord ?
      The coming of Jack McHammocklashing ?
      In the beginning was the word and the word was God and all else was darkness and void without
      form. So God created the heavens and the earth. He created the sun and the moon and the stars
      so that the light might pierce the darkness. And the earth God divided between the land and the
      sea and these He filled with many assorted creatures.
      And the dark smelly creatures that inhabited the land, God called ARMY and dressed them
      accordingly like trees and bushes. And the flighty creatures of the air, He called AIR FORCE and
      these he clothed in uniforms of light blue to match the sky, and the creatures who sailed on the
      surface of the sea, God called SKIMMERS.
      Then, with a twinkle in His eye and a sense of humor that only He could have, God gave them big
      gray targets to sail on. He gave them many splendid uniforms to wear. He gave them many
      wonderful and exotic places to visit. He gave them pen and paper so they could write home every
      week. He gave them afternoons off, movies and ice cream makers and he gave them a laundry to
      keep their splendid uniforms clean. When you are God, you tend to get carried away.
      And on the 7th day, God rested. On the 8th day at 0700, God looked down on the earth and He
      was not happy. So He thought about His labors and in His infinite wisdom, God created a divine
      Creature which he called a SUBMARINER. And the SUBMARINERS that he created in His own
      Image were to be of the deep, and to them He gave the Dolphin insignia. He gave them black
      Messengers of death to roam the depths of the seas, waging war against the forces of Satan and
      evil! He gave them submarine pay so they might entertain the ladies on Saturday nights, and
      impress the Hell out of the SKIMMERS.
      And at the end of the 8th day, God looked down on the earth and saw that all was good, but still
      God was not happy. In the course of His labors He had forgotten one thing. He himself did not
      have a submariners dolphin. He thought about it and He thought about it and finally satisfied
      Himself, knowing that not just anybody could be a SUBMARINER.

            It was when we changed back to the VBulletin board that the forum is on now Jack & it was off line for the day & then when we came back on line it counted everybody as being on line & logged in too......
            Just a glitch on the changeover nothing else Jack..... :WINK1: :D

                Gold star for correctness and the first reply

                Concord
                Well done but I bet it was dead on the ground, never to fly again :cry3:
                Confirmed proof we are going backwards
                Not one flight other than testing flew with empty seats

                Yes it may have been dirty to the enviroment, but lets face it The WHOLE of Britain only contaminates 0.0003%
                CHINA 87%
                Therefore all our green taxes are just profit for the Gov not contributing anything to the WORLD like a flea on an elephants back

                Jack PRO CONCORD

                  Me too Jack - definitely pro Concorde. When living near Reading you could here it coming evey morning at 11 o'clock in the morning and you automatically looked up to see the magnificent machine 'growling' as it picked up speed leaving Heathrow - everyone I know who was there at the time misses it..
                  By the way you can now get aboard Concorde at the old Brooklands site near here - sadly it does not move.......

                    I miss the double boom about 3pm, being midway from the English & Bristol channels, you could here both routes going supersonic as they got over the seas.

                      You're not far wrong Jack. I actually walked through the prototype many, many moons ago at Duxford. In one end and straight out the other! :)
