Billy. Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 Great bit of film. I have a real interest in jet engines and this was great. Did anyone spot that this was the 'audio description' version, which spelled out the simplest of scenarios...! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_commoner Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 'sparkie' off here works at royce's, i managed to catch a glimpse of him operting one of the cranes and text him to let him know - thinks hes a filmstar now !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSPUK Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 What impressed me with the Sub is they don't butt sections together but leave an inch -the welders come in and fill gap - Also where control systems are made up and slotted in place - hope it wasn't like space prog in America where we worked in mm and them in inch's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kdubya Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 Depressing to see the ability we have (in droves) yet the country is still goosed due to the greed of society? mainly bankers and the legal professions who feed the hordes of Me Me Me's who want to grab a quick buck, preventing investment and promoting the selling of our industrial know how. ask any skilled worker which yank jap or french company they now work for?
