Stubby antenna query - A happy ending - THANX ALL

Hi you great bunch. Thanks to all for the info on the 'stubby antenna' query I posted, a few good replies though unfortunately I was still unable to find most of the antennas suggested. 
SO........ many thanks to "linux_author" for the info on the Pryme RD2, I clicked the link, had a look @ the details, & clicked 'buy'. Excellent, it opened my Paypal account to sign into, showed me I had $28.00 still in there I had almost forgotten about. Hmm, sounds fair to me, antenna $15 95, shipping $12.95, total $28.90, so basically this little baby was going to cost me 90 cents (US). (That's me thinking positive eh!) Maybe though, a little too easy to part with yer actual hard earned? LOL. Will post up my opinion on it when I have had it long enough to test against the standard Icom supplied antenna if anyone is interested.

One other quickie, someone asked what route the B52's took out & back of the country. Anyone know if they pass over north Kent, Thames area?

Cheers again, ;-)

John

- i just got a pryme RD2 stubby... works great! there are SMA and BNC
versions... (i got the BNC version, as i use an SMA->BNC adapter on my
r2)... 

- btw, the pryme antennas not only work great, but look really cool...
(i also got the al-800, which telescopes to 34"+ and includes a 9" rat
tail - two antennas in one!)

- here's where i ordered 'em:
