Here's One Birthday We Missed

[Garry Russell]

The Trident first flew 9th January 1962 making it just over 50 years old

G-ARPO in it's present state is in better condition than me and there are no plans for my restoration

I think it's about time we set up a preservation society for you mate

I don't think you'd get many donations unless it was an appeal for bullets

Hi Toby

I saw that twice

1966 and 1988

[Garry Russell]

Thanks for the clip Toby

I'd not seen that before

What's your excuse for letting us miss the historic event

I need a restoration society , for my transmission
It gave up the ghost 5 blocks from home this morning after giving 270,000 miles of service.
Thankfully, being a Ford, it still got me back home ..... in reverse !

[Garry Russell]

Oh dear

Bad do

Looks like you'll have to see if you can aFord a new one
