The date on the film looks like 2004 and the plane like a chipmunk are we still flying space cadets around in them I thought we'd swopped to bulldogs and tutors.

The BBMF do Operate a chipmunk for tailwheel and continuation training but then a lot of civvy operators operate the things too, in RAF colours as well.

...and another thing.

Why is it always called a 'near miss'? :confused:

Surely if you nearly miss something you must have hit it?

Shouldn't it be called a 'near hit'?

It's things like this that keep me awake at night you know? :(

No truth in the rumour that the Air India crash in the mid 80s was due to a "Sikh Hitting Missile" :p

Air India Flight 182 was a target of opportunity for terrorists. All 329 aboard were killed, including 60 children aged below 10. Also killed were 22 Americans, 160 Canadians and more than 100 Indian nationals along with others. Never mind eh.:mad:

I think that's why they changed their official name to AirProx - that way you have to done Calcs and Comms to know what the Prox stands for... lol.

Merry Christmas one and all.
