Went to the British Car Club meet-up. Real nice people. There were about 25 people. It was quite different than the 86 meet-ups. My wife and I were the YOUNGEST couple there.

the front blades of a jet are at relatively low temperatures and speeds compared to the actual internals that see the jet fuel and compression. if his helmet hit the first set of blades that would upset the balance and the engine sputters and cuts out from imbalance.
the sucking action is almost cartoony but it aint no joke https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-...d-jet-10432160 it shows here the guy wedged himself with his arm and the helmet struck the blades first and the pilot cut the throttle immediately |

I just hope it's from doing something by choice and not from falling under a bus or something else equally stupid.

Happened to a guy when I was on the Carl Vinson. Ripped off his helmet but he managed to duck just in time. On that same cruise, another guy wasn't so lucky. He got caught behind an F-14 throttling up to taxi. Threw him into a jet blast deflector which flipped him up into the air and over the side. Looked like a rag doll.

You know I take awful pics.
The group has about 120 members total, and they do a lot of social stuff. We met at a park, then drove to a restaurant and had dinner. They do it once a month, and twice a month they have "coffee", cars and coffee type thing. In the winter, when driving season is over, they have "garage parties" where members host a party in there garage or shop. Sounds fun. And I am not the only Lotus. One guy has a Super 7. I'm just the only car built this century. |

I know why MG drivers run in pacts, so that there will be at least one mechanic in every group and everybody carries at least one spare part. (I just made that up - ) humfrz |

It was funny. As we were following these old British sports cars to the restaurant, the exhaust smell was something awful. One guy had to leave early because his headlights weren't working. Some of these people have OLD cars, but at least they are still driving them.
