Purple is their natural colour.

Indeed! Blame the Dutch.

From as far back at the 10th Century, the crop grew purple in India, the Middle East and Europe, with its origins traced to Afghanistan.

There are even reports that as long ago as 2000 BC, temple drawings from Egypt show a plant believed to be a purple carrot.

It was not until the 17th Century that they turned orange, when patriotic Dutch growers favoured the colour - as used on the national flag.

Purple it's a warning

did you know you can now by purple carrots in Waitrose.

Purple is their natural colour.

Hmm, reminds me a little of the lass I was following closely up Nordre Ringvej on the bicycle this morning. Except she was blond and wearing purple lycra leggings.

The purple leggings put me off a little, so I didn't try and invite her round for dinner.

Purple it's a warning.

Gunman, I've only just managed to stop looking at that wolf with the enormous nads, now you post this....

Just to keep you on the go and being a bottoms man myself, I cant help but agree with this young lady.

Nice cans.

You could die a happy man being crushed underneath those.

You think that was top heavy, check this out (especially the expression on the game show host's face).

Ive just been up this (not realy, I have been at work in Germany all day).

You would think it would fall over with all that weight at the top.

£285/hr

So within the reach of most junior .Netters then?

Churchill (Mr Rotary) - not sure what the gph is - haven't read the op manual yet. Had a nice 14 kt crosswind gusting across runway 06 (LH) - 17kt demonstrated.

Great turbo surge on takeoff - got to keep an eye on the overboost lights - no auto-wastegate. Damn throttle is like it's on an elastic band with the turbo lag. Spent most of my head down in the cockpit staring at the manifold pressure gauge.

Didn't get much of a chance for chat to Farnborough FIS - CFI took care of that while I was attempting not to look to much of a retard trying to keep it straight and level.

Very fast plane (170kt cruise), GPS and autopilot - handy for those infamous mile high club points.

Yep, Fairoaks. Do you hover from there?

£285/hr - around £95k+ for '79 second hand version going in Blackbushe?

Pooling/Sharing tends to be rare for twins - a Beech Baron 58 twin 1/6 share was going around £25k capital, £250 (?) monthly and ~£200/hr

[Churchill]

well what sort of price are you looking at - I guess its the on going costs that are high.....

HyperD, two thirsty AvGas guzzling monsters... how many GPH of 100LL?

As for the turbulence, it'll be the trees breathing!

Fairoaks by any chance?

Nope - time you get your lardy ar$e out of the plane below the TMA you'll be brown bread.

Very expensive hobby this is -- even though not as expensive as most people may think. When I checked I found that having a pool plane is not for the rich only,
