Correction to my earlier post.  The Lightning would take 2 minutes from "brakes off" to 40 000ft using full afterburners, then only had 15 minutes of fuel left

I'm reading an interesting book at the moment about the British aircraft industry from 1945 till the mid 60's when it was basically  finished, lost the plot.  The Petter family, who made your engine apparantly also started the Westland Helicopter company.  Teddy Petter became English Electric's chief designer, and was pretty much totally responsible for designing the English Electric Lightning, one of Britain's most successful planes of all time.  Can't remember offhand, but from take off to 50 000ft took something like 2 minutes.  Could only stay airborn for 40 minutes, then needed to find a tanker or land fast.

Latest reasearch says that there was no difference between the placebos and the fish oil takers.  Can't find the article now, but saw it just a few days ago.  Luckily, I have never worried about my eating habits.  I have always eaten what I felt like, when i felt like it.  My philosophy - anything and everything as long as in moderation.  I'm now 60, stil no paunch or grey hair yet, so must be working.  Ok, maybe it's not the diet that's kept me young - I've never been married, maybe that's the answer ;D

Don't want to piss on your parade, but i doubt that that cart would last 5 minutes with my Sr2 standing on it.  Hope you prove me wrong though.

Read something once about a farmer who used an old tractor tube connectected to the digester outlet.  When it was full he rolled it to his house, connected it to his stove and plonked a couple of concrete lintels on it to give pressure

Or try this.  I think Ed mentioned it a while ago.

To be honest, I would love to see Glort commenting on powerforum, it would surely ruffle up some feathers! If he gets banned, no skin off his teeth, he has that great Aussie site to fall back on.  What do you call yourself there?
