A wonderful selection! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D :y :y

I think out of all of them the most worrying one is the tapped up wing flip tip on the airliner! :o :o :o   I bet those passengers were relieved to safely land!! :D :D :D ;)

I think the chap with the tail wheel for his car has been watching the Dambusters film too many times! ;D ;D ;D ;D

I've seen plenty of duck-taped airliners fly into / out of the local workshops. Rumour has it the only failure they had was when securing the engine to a DC-8. They got somewhere over France before the engine decided to overtake the aircraft. :o

Trying to find the accident report. IIRC the aircraft had been mothballed for a while before being brought back into service and evidently some corrosion to an engine pylon had not been picked up.

After a couple of ferry flights it took off with freight on board and during the latter stages of the climb no. 4 engine separated, overtook the aircraft and then realised it should have convinced one of the fuel tanks to join it in its' bid for freedom. ::) As the aircraft caught up with it, it took out no.3 engine.

The aircraft landed relatively safely IIRC, all things considered. The crew were awarded a change of underwear. :-X

Higher mileage - Don't think so somehow seeing as my poor old girl has been run ragged as yours has coolant, gearbox and aircon issues!

It's nowt to do with women drivers, I only go around roundabouts as MDTM taught me to do!!!

I'm an honarable citizen :)

And that 4k was those awful ZV3s that I had on the back of my old tractor, they were truely horrid, and the lack of grip had inevitable consequences.

Bloody good fun though ::)

Can't remember whats on mine, but, won't be the same again thats for sure! Haven't been impressed with them, reckon the tyre wear is from the amount of sideways travel they have done! >:( ::)
