I guess another lead would be the next port of call John. If you can try someone elses lead on your PC this might save you buying something you dont need, as the prob could be your PC? Try dif USB slots dif GPS software dif lead If it still aint having it! Has you GPS got a problem with that sort of...

If you have the drivers installed then you should see the port in the "device manager". I dont have this setup but I believe it emulates as a com port, if not it will be in the list of USB controllers. This should tell you what number com port it has, and this is what you need to know as m...

Might be best not to ask Mike.

It sounds like it includes the use of lube!

Brian please do keep a handle on your use of smileys.

Are words to be completely obsolete?

Andrew this, Maltby that!! Bla Bla Bla Bla ....... Give it a rest please.... The guy goes XC every day of the week in his profession :wink: if it was not for the practicing air traffic control he would have been at a total loss as to his final approach.

Unacceptable to say the least,

Some very nice snaps Ron.

Jesus....!!

I am quite nervous of flying so I think I would end up like the woman in the film Airplane who is hysterical, getting slapped with a line of people behind waiting to take a turn.

I guess this passed all you by?

I thought it looked quite a moment!

Could the guys who fly these things rest my mind as to the real dangers of that happening or am I to be looking out the window for birds whilst biteing fingers to the bone every time I fly?

Come across this, which aparently happened on the 29/4/07 in Manchester.

Oh I am so pleased I was not on that flight!!

If it did happen 30 days ago how was it kept out the news and does anyone know the out come!!!!

Yes Ron, the league can be filtered so as only UK flights are showing.

Mouse over the Area showing and you can select the country you wish.

Ah yes indeed I now see it!! http://www.nhpc.org.uk/nhpc/modules.php?name=leonardo&op=show_flight&flightID=773 very very nice, But surly the important one is Yours = Altitude gain 1096 m (3594 ft) Mine = Altitude gain 1901 m (6235 ft) But I will say no more as the Old Dog piped me by 8 m!!! ...

Lets not split hairs here but its 931 feet Ali :D and you still owe me a pint for getting to base, remember? :8: I also cant find this flight of yours? Ron I feel humbled that someone of your experience thinks that I TO and just fly straight to base :) Joking aside it looked like a radical bit of fl...

Check your camera setting Chris, all the photos of late look very very dark... Some setting in the camera I would say.... To think you picked up a £50 cheque at the last meet for a photo comp these are very poor show.... Has that been cashed? is it to late to stop it Andrew? Flying looked crap as we...

Great video of the dust devils Seen one or something like it get Ian Brown from Northern whilst training at the Bell, it just picked him up from standing on the ground and shook him like a dog. He did manage to land it OK but he was quite shook up about it. Neil was there also sitting on the ground ...

.... damn depressing Looking out the window flying back from the alps there was no mistaking home, the green green grass of, to which I love dearly. But as we approached from 25,000 foot I noticed that the sky was falling in! it most certainly must be, I had been able to see the ground all the way t...

Well Done John

Not ever flown before, exc big planes where nice looking people smile and try to make being crammed battery hen like for 4 or 5 hours slightly bearable. I recall the first 40 hours involving a great deal of shitting myself, and generally looking for the exit door should the elevator start to get a l...

I am up for that
