    I worked there.  In Puerto Rico.

    I went there on a summer holiday initially with my friends, the best part of 20years ago -  and was offered a job working in a Scottish/Rangers FC Supporters bar, that we had been drinking in every night. 

    I wasn't enjoying my course at university at the time, so i went home from my holiday and turned straight back around....with the intention of staying for 3months - and stayed for almost 3 years.

    I miss it.  My liver doesn't.  I miss the sunshine.  Cheers,

    You must have had a great time there Calum and kudos to you Rangers fans for the stunning display of the Union Flag, Queens image and singing of the National Anthem at Ibrox the other night. :)

    Fine shots of the major buildings in sight during the meticulous orchestred and timed funeral of QE II that I have watched yesterday in sequences on TV.

    That the people along the path from Westminster via Buckingham till the long straight lane to the Windsor Castle awaiting so longtime before for seeing the

    coffin of their Queen passing them only in a few seconds, shows the respect and patience that, in my opinion, only the British citizens can perform. Great job.

    Exactly my thoughts as the procession went past on it's way to Windsor.

    Not forgetting those who queued for up to 15 hours to pay their respects at the lying in state.

    I guess no one told the fine people of Bendigo that the pandemic was over …….. I can hear a mouse

    fart in that terminal . :unsure::(:o:lol:

    I think there are only 2 flights to Sydney a day with DHC-8-300s, so it must have just left.;) I see the Dash 8s regularly cruising over where I live.

    You don't know about AUstralian mice then? They say their fart is worse than their bite.:o

    Many thanks Martyn :). It sounds a fantastic place to holiday. I love visiting aviation museums too.

    I was on an organised tour of Pearl Harbour so my look around the museum was rather rushed which was a shame but there were so many types of planes and choppers I had never seen in RL before.^_^

  5. Beautiful images Paul.

    I went mad on the last sale and bought all of the Hawiian airports on offer and the two I have seen so far are first class inside and out.

    I spent 6 days on Oahu and it was stunning so if you get the chance I recommend it. The highlight was Pearl Harbour and there is an excellent aviation museum on Ford Island that even has an RAAF F111!:D
