Sinister: 3/7ths of B&S to play live in London!

[Niall Barr]

Hi people,
V-Twin, who have now added Richard on percussion to their line-
up, are doing a gig on Saturday at Blow-up in London in addition to 
the one I mentioned before in Aberdeen on Thursday. They're also 
trying out a novel new idea - rehearsing! They have been hidden 
away in Twin Towers rehearsing all last week, and don't intend to 
emerge 'til Wednesday. Stevie is playing guitar as well as sitar, 
and Chris is playing piano and synth as usual. 

Lots of people have been talking about Messerschmitts... 

I have a vague memory of once spending four years sitting in 
lecture theatres trying to sleep while lecturers tried to tell me how 
to make aeroplanes, and then getting shouted at when I tried to put 
the knowledge to practical use by throwing paper aeroplanes at 
them. The University eventually got tired of my paper aircraft, and 
got someone to talk to me in latin, hit me on the head with a silly 
hat and give me a bit of paper in a red cardboard tube which 
apparently proves I know lots of stuff about aircraft. Because of this 
I think I probably should add more trivia to the Messerschmitt 
discussion..

After WW2, Messerschmitt merged with Blokow-Blom (sp?) and 
became MBB. They made a helecopter called the MBB Bo105 
(now known as the Eurocopter Bo105), which is very popular with 
british police forces, so Messerschmitts once again are able to 
strike fear into at least some of the people of Britain.

Niall.
