I just found this thread - couldn't believe that such banter had gone on for 15 years!
You may be proud to know that Weber barbeques has a distinct aviation connection! :-) At one time, my bro Barry (ex RCAF RN/RO on the Argus out of Summerside PEI (415 Sqdn) ) had a business that supplied the redwood shelves for both Arkla and Weber barbeques. After a few successful business years, he developed a very serious allergy to redwood and the business went down the tubes. Somehow this led him to work for David Tallichet managing his collection, before he went into business trading just off-line fighters for vintage museum pieces.
