National Marine Aquarium Plymouth

Postby expat » Sat Nov 06, 2010 4:26 am

My children love to visit aquariums. Where ever we go, it is always the first thing on the list of places to visit. On a trip back to the UK to visit the grandparents, we set aside a day to visit the National Marine Aquarium in Plymouth. It was 10 years since my last visit......without children. Anyway, in the larger tanks of any aquarium today you see some superb settings for the fish. Sunken boats, lobster pots etc. However this is the first time I had ever seen a.............crashed aircraft used :o Here they had used a full size replica of a Walrus. It was sponsored by the Royal Air Force as a tribute to the lost crews of the Second World War.

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.
