...be able to decline the verb...

Oooh, I love it when people say stuff like that!

(better even than using "without" to mean "outside [of]" rather than simply "not having". Oh, and "myriad" as an adjective (though not even I insist it still be specifically 10,000 (though I continue to be irked by "decimate")).

Hmm. I'm sure that says more about me than is healthy

yep

You sure? they are a solid helicopter with massive lifting capabilities.

Hmmm...

Looked like a controlled, provoked test of ground resonance to me. If I understand things correctly, it affects all multi-rotor helicopters, and can be stopped - or allowed to continue and (like many resonances) increase until destructive failure.

Still, the chinook has not been without its problems in the past (particularly the crash in Scotland), but it has also performed well: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAF_Chin

Well whoever you are / whatever you do - I think I speak for everyone when I say you are a total star for donating that ammount of money! Can I ask why so much? have they helped you in the past?

There is one thing I have been meaning to ask - why are the services daylight only ?

There's some stuff on the wikipedia entry that I sort of glanced over - seemed to be related to software reliability estimates, derived from implementation method. Hence they restricted the operational hours.

Not an artist but definately an International Man of Mystery!
