Malaysian Airlines MH370 jet was Hidden Deliberately?

ADS-B – Does it mean anything to you? It should. People probably don’t realise but Air Traffic control don’t use radar to track Aircraft flying around the world. The  Malaysian Airlines jet may have simply “Disappeared” because the Hi-jackers turned off the ADS-B system.

ADS-B is a system on the Aircraft saying where it is much like your Mobile Phones GPS tells you where you are on Google Maps. The Plane has a device that uses GPS to get its position and then “tells” Air traffic control where it is. They then plot it on their systems along with all the other  aircraft and track them to avoid collisions etc. Up to now the worry has been that without Radar they’d be open to Hackers setting up “phantom” planes to swamp the  system but what if you wanted to hide? Turn it off.

ADS-B is mandatory above 29k ft. If they turned it off then Air Traffic control would think they’d crashed. Hence their pleas for all military radar /satellites info to find out is anyone could actually “see” where the plane had gone – no Radar out in the pacific or Indian Oceans.

I wonder where it really went, has it crashed or gone somewhere secluded? Will we ever know?

Fly tipping

Why? Appalling and unfathomable. In picturesque spot near Bernard Castle. Why put rubbish your car and dump it here? For what was involved could have gone in the bins nearby. Not illegal or disgusting .

Truma lets us down

Last night Truma let us down . Heating went off.
Lovely weather but nights cold . Had heating on tickover at 2am cold. This morning on investigation seems most probably the 12v transformer has died. 3 yr old sterling europa  - last van 8 yr old Elddis no problems. Truma Ultraheat problems. 

Dishonesty meanness

People that know me may consider me mean but i like value for money, a good deal, not stealing . So today at Bowlees Visitor centre the car park was "free" they asked for donations. £2suggested but it was a car park in the national park, toilets, picnic area, walks and a visitor Centre. Some folk parked, looked at the car park charges muttering I'm not paying and walked off!  not paying its disgusting . surely they could afford something, £1 is not too much for the facilities. Otherwise its just plain mean if not dishonest. How Will these places survive?

Django unchained

Typical Tarrantino . Spaghetti Western . just wish he`d decided serious or spoof. In last third i got confused, seemed implausible just wanted Django to escape, revenge and continue as bounty hunter, with hilda, like Shulz. Still good though. Worth watching I say.

Well why not go the whole hog? Privatise the BBC and save every household £145.50 a year PLEASE.

Why should they get £32 billion a year of our money for  ENTERTAINMENT?

Entertainment tax - Mr os"Borne Conspiracy" - take note  - we want FREEDOM to CHOOSE - TV or not TV.

Thanks.
