By all accounts there was people in last night cleaning them out of booze.

Meanwhile Radio Teilifis Eireann have been keeping us all fully informed.

55kt, sw. a 55kt wind never hurt anyone. Fúck me, I've landed a Yak-50 in a 50kt wind! (It was straight down the strip, but you get my meaning.)

Oddly, the Yak-50 shared several unusual charcteristics with the Hurricane, including a pneumatic flap and gear activation system.

What are the advantages of that over hydraulics?

I am sat at my kitchen table, Jam mug of hot sweet tea, packet of dark chocolate McVities digestives.

My plan is to stop around lunchtime and watch a fillum, say the internet went down and blame the wind.

Boom!

Make sure you download a film or two just in case the internet actually does go down.

I suspect it's a question of saving weight, not having to carry the fluid. On the other hand, one would imagine that the weight of the compressor would make up for it. So I don't really know, to be honest.

The -50 also used the pneumatic system for starting, which was rather fun.
