It is a shame that Sir Patrick's memory is being hung on only one of his roles. Why Sir Patrick? He was knighted in 2007 for his services to drama. He had a long career as a Shakesperian actor. Also, one of his movie roles was in the X-Men franchise. The movie role I remember is as King Richard in Mel Brooke's Robin Hood - Men in Tights. He also was held in high esteem for his series of readings of Shakspeare's Sonnets during the COVID lockdown.
The flight in the video from St Helens Park to Bankstown was over my old stomping grounds, so I knew exactly where the aircraft was all the time, except the right hand circuit to 29. So the navigating wasn't a problem for me. My difficulty would be learning the radio work since when I flew at Bankstown years ago the amount of radio work was minimal.
However, an experieinced pilot who took the time to study the documentation should catch on pretty quickly. Afterall, we have student pilots whose training base can be airports like Canberra where the student has to be as good with the radio as an airline pilot.
This post is really random, but I figured you blokes would be interested to see the new procedures for flying into Bankstown now that Western Sydney Airport is operational. As you go through the video pause it and havea look at the VTC and see all the airspace changes. In the comments, someone says that new peocedures for departing Bankstown mean it taakes longer to even get to the runway. By the way, the ME in the title is not me.
In the current international financial situation, no political party in a small nation such as ours has any control over the country's economy. If the Prime Minister was Taylor or Hanson or whoever is the leader of the Greens, the situation today would be exactly the same.
Be very, very careful. That statement could readily be taken as defamatory. It has been published on this site, so the site could be prosecuted, and maybe taken down.
You are the one who is making the statement. Would you look it up if I claimed that it was true that the Moon was made of green cheese?
Remember, it is a custom of this forum that those who make claims of fact be prepared to openly provide references to the source of those facts.
I really think that which ever mob forms the Government, the person that Party puts in the position of Leader should not have to carry the ball for evry MInister in the Government. Those Ministers were chosen to attned to the operations of a particular area of government. I think that they should be the ones fronting the media. The captain of a sporting team isn't the one who is expected to score all the points for the team. The Prime Minister's role should be more about the international diplomatic side of Federal politics.
I don't follow AFL, but my Dad was born in Carlton Vic, so if anyone asks me which AFL team I follow, I say, 'Carlton'. I couldn't name one player in the current lineup.
