Too much salt in the porridge reacts with the golden syrup. I didn't see half of that list. I wonder if porridge made with Limoncello would work.
Paolo - definitely need loads of that alcohol this year. Now starting my third batch of 'limoncello' with some super vodka (from a polish friend who hasn't got a clue how strong it is apparently).
This could be the 'liveliest' yet. All the previous two batches have been drained to the last drop.

Keith&David,
The Lanc is from Hamilton(war museum) Auster Beagle also. You guys have the only other flying one. (Lanc) The Lysander may be also. Nice DH88 Comet. Look's like a few museums flying inventory there.

<DL><DD>Simon, </DD></DL>As the merecats say :"Shimple" Squeak.
<DL><DD>This is also relevant to the aerodynamics on your car if care to you think about it.<DD><DD>

The A380 comes over here most days on approach when LHR is on the o9s. It looks as though it's going slowly - so does the B747-400 but they are doing 210kts, the same as everyone else at that stage of the approach. When you think it's also about 160 tonnes lighter than when it took off then things start becoming amazing. Well, it does to me.

- L is lift force,
- ρ is air density
- v is true airspeed,
- A is planform area, and
- C<SUB>L</SUB> is the lift coefficient at the desired angle of attack, Mach number, and Reynolds number<SUP id=cite_ref-42 class=reference>[43]</SUP>

Great video Dave,
I'm with Simon on alternative laws of physics for the A380 tho. I think if you remove the 1/2 from the lift equation it will seem about right:laugh: Also watching the landing clip in the video, it might be an ornithopter too:stunned:
Seriously tho, I was on my first A380 flight from Dubai to Bangkok before xmas, one of the impressions I had was that take off seemed almost STOL compared to the 747, on which I am often praying that it will rotate some time before the end of the runway! Does the 380 have a lower take off speed capability or am I just confused by its size?

Dave, No matter how long the runway, the FMCS (Flight Management Computer Sytem) on the 747.400 will derate the power so that it uses nearly all of the Tora (Take Off Run Available) to conserve the engines and so it seems it is going on for ever. Even at MTOW (Max Take Off Weight) the FMCS will still allow a derate.(About 37 seconds+ take off run on 27L at LHR at 396 tonnes). I imagine the A380 is similar with it's speeds and derates though if you are sitting on the upper deck the impression might be of a lower speed. I haven't tried it (the A380) yet as BA don't seem to be buying them and my retired staff travel only extends to BA.
