RE: Thorjet WILL be on the net.
Volkan,
I thought a little anecodote might give an idea of the kind of nice people Thorpe Bros are.
Around 9/10 years ago at Long Marston Warwickshire, I stumbled across a jet meeting. One of the main highlights was the new JPX powered StarJet I think being flown by John Palmer. Wild rabid horses would not have pulled me away from this spectacle.
It was a really hot and baking day. I happened to be out on my own with my son, Greg a mere 2 or 3 years old. We had of course walked round and round for ages, and still being a novice father fully in charge, I had not realised how thirsty he had gotten. He began to complain just a little bit just as we got to the Thorpe Bros Stand.
One of the Thorpe Brothers was stood behind his wares and had in his hand a big glass of orange squash. Greg looked up and immediately pointed at the glass, using that kind of irrestible blackmailing face, clearly he wanted the drink!. "You can't have one of those Greg, we'll have to go to the refreshment wagon" quoth I looking at the incredibly big queues to the catering wagons.
Mr Thorpe without being asked said "No worries, kids need fluid on a day like this, here you are son", and in doing so passed this glass of squash over to the eager clutches of Greg.
Greg duly drank........... the lot, virtually 3/4 pint of squash or so!!!!! Then when finished he politely said thank you, "Can we go home now"!!!!!!
I was so embarrassed, I tried to pay for the squash to an obviously amused Mr Thorpe but he would have none of it, but I did pay for and walk away with a catalogue, mainly out of embarrasment!!!
But there you go, nice people who could always do a side line in refreshments should the need arise at the next show they go to!!!!
I hope the web site works out well for you both,
Tarrah,
Gazzer

Dear Volkan
Mark Dyball's F18 flew today.
Can you host the video, once we have it sorted.
We also have video of two fullsize Jaguars, arriving back from Norway.
Once they had landed, we then had permission to fly the F18.
Regards Phil.

RE: Thorjet WILL be on the net.
well, I fixed all bugs found!
Now just to add the products,
Estimated Launch Date = 26th Febuary 2005
It does take longer with me[
], its hard to juggle school work, with website building (+ flying, and my sim building!)
At this point, Id like to thank Dave03B, for all his help and research in this build.

Dear All
Here are the Jaguars arriving back from Norway, which held up the test flight of the F18.
Only Joking, nice to see them close up.

RE: Thorjet WILL be on the net.
Dear All
The video's of the fullsize Jaguar 's arriving back from Norway, and
Mark Dyball's Thorpe bros F18 first flight have been passed on to Volkan.
The F18 was going to be posted on Thorpe bros website.
I will see if he will post it on his site, so it can be viewed now, rather than
the end of Feb.
The F18 flies very well, it does not seem to have any nasty habbits.
Regards Phil Goff.

Dear All
Here is my link.
This is for the first flight of the Thorpe F18
and also the fullsize Jaguars arriving back from Norway.
If it fails my bandwidth has been exceeded.
Hopefully this will help Volkans bandwidth also.
