Apache

Nice one Paul - and a small price to pay I must say

Yeah sorry I missed you -got a couple of nice pix of your motor tho :D Checked out your clocks as well - look good. Still playing around with that template ;)

Only there for Saturday day but nice to meet some new forum members and also see such an amazing array of Zeds. Hope to be there next year with the Zed, a tent and a decent bottle of malt whisky :D Well done and thanks to all of those involved in the organising :bow:

Well done The Commitee - order round the room :rofl: ;)

Yeah - I thought Chunk was gonna be a bit of a skinny guy and that all these comments about Ginsters Pies were just a vicious rumour :rofl: :rofl: :D

I was there saturday with the missus - nice to have met a few people and to have seen loads of nice zeds.

You're looking at it from a maintenance point of view not an operational useage YGPM ;)

Anyone know what time it all starts?????

Good luck with it Mark - I'll have a beer for ya instead of praying!!

As part of the contract with Boeing the Army stipulated that along with the aircraft there would be 4 simulators : 1 FMS (Full Mission Simulator ie Fixed Base, Motion Platform etc. this is at Middle Wallop) and 3 FDS's (Field Deployable Simulators) . Of these 3, 2 have been de-containerised and reside in a purpose built facility at Wattisham and ours here at Dishforth remains in 4 ISO containers ready to deploy wherever the Army requires. :confused: And yes you're right - the Apache is an awesome weapons platform and a very capable attack helicopter. You're also right saying that it's an interesting job, great fun flying and using the weapon systems and defense aids :D

I'm a Maintenance Engineer on the Apache WAH-64D Field Deployable Flight Simulator. :hyper: Great job really as it's just like working on a £40 million video game :D Have also worked on the Harrier GR7, Tornado F3 and various civil airline flight simulators.

One cottage on the West Coast of Scotland or a Scottish island and another in Cornwall or Devon. I would spend 4 months in one then 4 months travelling in a campervan and then 4 months in the other. Alternatively a lakeshore house in Toronto would be nice

Yeah I know - see you at JAE on Saturday :dance:

Whore, me????? Surely not!!! :tongue: A meaningful contributor and all round good egg :rofl: :rofl:

What's white and shoots across the sky??? The coming of the Lord.

Well done to MickeyB and Simon - Chunk: see you on Sat at JAE (not in my Zed though)

Nice one Paul

If you really want to go to JAE then I'll go to the Maldives for ya :cool: And if you do end up in the Maldives have a great time mate

Why do women get married in White??? That's the colour kitchen appliances come in :p

YORKSHIRE :hyper: :D

Well done girl - look forward to seeing some of the article when you post it up

Along the same lines saw this in Viz: Twat Nav (noun) - Motoring term, female in passenger seat with road atlas.

Good luck with it all Dave and hopefully see you at JAE on Saturday

Happy Birthday to you etc etc Have a good un, you youngster :)

I consider myself to be pretty healthy and fit for 40+. I cycle a 16 mile round trip to work every day and run a 6 mile circuit 3 times a week. Also going to do The Great North Run in September. Don't smoke but drink too much beer and whisky and despite a healthy diet have a tendency to eat too much red meat and Indian food. Live life for now not for the future - you don't know when your time'll be up.
