This will be for voting.
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Canada.  There's a welcoming committee already in place and several sleeper agents south of the border to ensure good neighbourly relations. 

Anyone on the forum from Denmark?

EDIT:  significant day, the 24th.  GB poll ends and it's the last game in this year's Stanley Cup.  Go Oilers!

Some years ago during hols on The Rock we rented a property owned by the parents of an Oilers player, hence the support.  But the Habs are my team.

Fun fact time: BAe sold Royal Bhutan Airlines an Avro RJ100: their first jet airliner. Three years later (round about the time I started at Woodford) it was back in the factory for a complete new wing, due to fatigue cracking in the old one. Apparently the approachs to some airfields in Bhutan are "interesting"... :o

I've tried some with Flight Simulator, and I think a better word would be 'impossible'!

Those crews earn their pay for sure!
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Yeah, that's the definition of "interesting" that goes something like, "right-hand daisy-cutter turn around this mountain, straight into a left hand daisy-cutter turn around that mountain, then straight into a five degree no flare approach, then try to stop before you fall off a cliff..."
