It should look like this, without the quotations before and after the "slash".
Hmmmm........ I just added the Gunnery Sgt rank as an attachment, and it worked. Maybe the boss was working on something, or your file size was too big.
@RD, I tried to attach a test pic in responce to Prunes message last week in the Maddie Forum, my file size was no bigger than 85k, and it would not accept it.
An international campaign has been launched to "re-energise" the search for missing Madeleine McCann.
Everton Football Club have highlighted the cause as the team travels to Portugal - where the youngster vanished two years ago while on a family holiday in Praia de Luz.
The Premier League side face Benfica on Thursday in a Europa League match and have commissioned 6,000 T-shirts they want fans to wear bearing the message "We're Still Looking For You".
Three thousand shirts bear the message in English with the other half in Portuguese.
One of the first images released by Madeleine's parents, Kate and Gerry, in the wake of their daughter's disappearance 29 months ago showed the then four-year-old proudly wearing an Everton shirt.
Everton chairman Bill Kenwright said: "This is just our way of reminding people - not just in the UK and Portugal but across the globe - that this child is still out there somewhere. If we can, perhaps, jog someone's memory or breathe a little fresh life into the hunt for her then it will have been worth it."
Club manager David Moyes added: "It is absolutely vital that the hunt for this lovely little girl continues. People do sometimes forget that football managers and footballers are also dads - family comes first."
Clarence Mitchell, speaking on behalf of the McCanns, said: "Everton have been fantastically supportive of the search for Madeleine and have done everything they can to keep awareness of Madeleine very high.
"Kate and Gerry are especially grateful to them for this renewed push around the Benfica game.
"It is vitally important that people in Portugal are kept fully informed and fully aware that the search continues and the answer could still lie in Portugal itself."
You've got pluck and brass, I'll give you that! It pleases me that you--at least--are still out there fighting the good fight while the rest of us continue to sit on our laurels. Three cheers for you and no question about it!
Yes, it's been a long time since anyone has shown any interest here excepting yourself of course. I don't know why this project has gone idle especially since we all had such a wonderful time creating, building, troubleshooting, designing and flying and even fictionalizing!
I can't speak for anyone else, but I happen to think that the "Find Madeleine" project was one of the greatest flight sim experiences I've ever encountered. To say that I am proud to be a Co-Creator along with my cohort and dear friend Mel Wilson would be an understatement. I've not seen anything like the Find Maddie project before or since.
As you must have seen in this thread, our original go 'round ended about this very same time two years past. The original plan was to keep the search alive and launch another go 'round right away, but the Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday's were upon us and some wanted a break before cranking up another Sally. Sadly, after the Holiday Hiatus, everyone seemed to have lost all interest.
For the life of me, I've never been able to figure out why, except to suggest that there may be such a thing as too much of a good thing, after all!
I've enjoyed everyone of your lively and refreshing posts and what I consider to be your offbeat humor. Please never stop! Please don't get discouraged!
Having said that, I hope that the original crew will come together again to develop another stab at it.
If not this, then why not something other?
I, for one, would be happy to hear any suggestions you might have. Please PM Mel and myself with your thoughts. Perhaps we can put our head's together and.....?
British police have appealed for internet users worldwide to spread a new video aimed at pricking the conscience of the key witness who knows what happened to Madeleine McCann.
The one-minute film includes fresh images of how Madeleine might look now, including one with dark brown hair and tanned skin in case she has been living in north Africa.
The appeal, launched by the Child Exploitation and Online Protection (Ceop) centre, is targeted at a friend or relative of the person responsible for the little girl's disappearance.
Ceop head Jim Gamble said the clip's message, which has been translated into six other languages, had been crafted with the help of psychologists to persuade the witness to "do the right thing".
He said: "The person we are looking to reach is likely to be a partner, family member, friend or colleague of the person or people who were involved in Madeleine's disappearance. It is also highly probable that they, or someone close to them, is using the internet to search for any updates that may suggest the police are getting closer to discovering the truth."
Madeleine was nearly four when she went missing from her family's holiday apartment in Praia da Luz in Portugal on May 3 2007 while her parents dined with friends nearby.
Despite a massive police investigation and huge publicity worldwide, she has not been found.
Ceop hopes people will spread the new film - the first appeal of its kind - across the globe using blogs, email and social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter.
It features a number of well-known photographs and video clips of Madeleine, as well as three pictures of how she could look now, aged six, if she is still alive.
As always, my hat is off to you for keeping us all up to date about all things "Madeleine"!
For those of us here in the western hemisphere, I'm following Mel's never ending tenacity by offering up a link to the most current news being reported in the US about our little Madeleine on "America's Most Wanted" on the Fox, ABC Network.
I will always keep hope of garnering enough interest in putting together another "Around The World Flight" for Madeleine's (Poster Child) sake. Any of you can certainly disagree with me, but I think our last go 'round was of enourmous benefit to Surclaro, and quite a proud feather to put in our caps or headdress' for those who participated. For better or worse, I personally have never seen anything like it before or since!
Madeleine is still out there in the world, somewhere, and Cdr Percival Prune, bless his 'eart is the only one logging in with any regularity, (excepting Mel, of course).
Anyone up for the challenge? One more time, and around for no better cause in the world that I can think of!
It was that time of year again, when the stocks of leaflets needed to be distributed, but as my trusty Beech was in for a major overhaul, I was somewhat stuck up a creek without a paddle, I need to get these down there so that passing pilots can replenish their stocks for the journey.
I was then informed that a rumour was going around that RD, GS and the rest if the crew were heading down from Scandinavia on route to North Africa in the P3, now, if I can convince them to make a small detour, then my problem is solved.
As it turned out, the timing of my call out to them was just about perfect, only problem was it cost me a case of JD, never mind, it’s still the cheapest fare from the UK to Portugal.
I am hoping to scrounge a lift back from someone who is flying back to the UK, need to be back at Farnborough by at least Monday in order to collect the Beech and fly it back to Biggin.
I arranged a stand for the P3 very close to the warehouse where the pallets of leaflets are stored, and also managed to purloin a forklift, which should lift high enough for loading.
ATC gave me an approx ETA, and I walked out onto the airfield to wait their arrival, sure enough, I could make out the distinctive silhouette of the P3 as she dropped her gear, and headed straight in, it’s been a while since I saw RD and the rest of the P3 crew, maybe they might stay overnight, and we can c r a c k a few cans, and swap stories.
Prune here, floating over the Indian Ocean or what call here the the Great Australian Bight, well I guess we'll discover what that mean should we come down in the drink.
Hey RD don't you guys start another trip before I get back to blighty, our next landfall shold be somewhere about 100 miles east of Experance in Western Australia.
Miles & miles of water and not a drop to drink.
Not sure of a route from here thought might revisit Cocos, Gan then down to Marituis, Cape Town revisting my Cousin in Port Elizabeth on the way, then north the old Imperial Airways route following the steps of the old Empire Flying Boats lp to Luanda, Lagos, Cape Verdes, Madeira, Lisbon, Scillies then Birmingham and home
Not sure if its feasable to go the southern route via Amsterdam Islands, Kerguelen, Crozet, Prince Edward, Cape Town, St Helena, Acension, Cape Verdes, Madeira, Lisbon, Scillies then Birmingham and home.
I'd be mighty grateful for any ideas from you guys on the these options
I'm mailing maddie film & poster to all my stops en route.
I just passed over the coast S32 36.91 E125 18.63 it's totally barren scrub and desert with ocasional mountains sticking up also the weather has changed all along this coast, in Adelaide it was bright and clear but here we have 5/8 topping out at over 260 at least it varies a bit the sea is the sea best flown over at night.
I am also suprised to here ATC service so far West in being done from Melbourne.
Cloud thickening up now 7/8 with cu nim tops to 360 haven't yet seen any lightening , oh trough the cloud I spotted a small strip from my chart it must be YNSM Norseman 893x4961 not that small Im think I might be going to doze zzzzz zzzzz zzzzz leave the office it the care of George
