The British police are an absolute disgrace now. Any little shred of respect that we had a few years back is well and truly gone.
Any amount of incredible work done by those behind the scenes is well and truly overshadowed by the uniformed clowns on our streets.
They just seem intent on sinking lower and lower. 

As a cargo plane, my thoughts were how likely would it be for engine debris, admittedly at high speed with a lot of spin, to penetrate the fuselage (easy, thin aluminium) and the cargo (less likely?)

There is no real difference between a cargo and a passenger planes construction.

Yes, the bit I was wondering is if debris would penetrate the cargo easier than it would penetrate the organic matter in a passenger jet....

Pax planes are usually full of seats, which are partly made of metal. I've got a memory of one incident where engine bits were discovered embedded in the seats, but can't remember which accident that was. It's simply pot luck if an engine fragment hits something soft and squishy or hard and resilient. Heavy/dense cargo is likely to be placed close to the centre of lift/gravity, so over the wings and behind the line of the engines. However, no way of knowing if this plane was carrying a load of light teddybears or the lead lining for a nuclear reactor.

 

Ive never been to Birmingham. Doesnt sound like Ive missed much.

We've *got to* go to Birmingham in a few weeks but we'll go on one of those train things .....

Just think, if HS2 was completed, we'd get there ten whole minutes quicker,  although we'd have to travel ten miles further by car to get on it.    As it stands, we have quite a few really nice car parks around our way but no actual track. 

Err, you'd have to go a lot further than 10 miles.  You're nearest HS2 station would be Wormwood Scrubs I believe.  Which is about 75 minutes on a good day....

Ah, although I'll never use HS2 I wasn't aware of that.    It just shows what little interest I've taken of it. 

If you do decide to go to Wormwood Scrubs, don't pick up any hitch hikers.

Could do with one of those myself. Just got my 25/26 tax code.
Its changed from 1219M to 38M. 

Harry has a fantastic collection of vehicles, I watched about an hour of his stroll round his warehouse collection on YouTube last week £140,000 must be like pocket change to him.

He does have a great selection of both cars and bikes.....including a 'widowmaker' 750 2 stroke Kawasaki triple and 6 cylinder Honda CBX.

they have one of them at The Lakeland motor museum

Like her or loathe her I have no idea why the rozzers still try to police this stuff.

Last time I was in Brum I got charged £16 for driving across an imaginary line that some green nazi bureaucrat had drawn on the map.
