Hey JB, I sort of know where your coming from.

If the plane you walk around was a car, you'de probably walk away. But the guy's who service these things are fanatical (ever seen the workshops-wish I could get an NHS ward as organised&clean}-I'd rather fly in a 30 yr old cessna (?cesspit) that's been lovingly serviced, than chance a prototype shiny glider- 'spose I could get a bit scientific now, and ask about how many old planes fall out of the sky compared to new 'un's but the data available is probably not that reliable.

Never felt that India Lima was gonna fall out of the sky. Was more worried about getting the kids round the M56 than landing at the aerodrome

How can you use such vitriolic language to a thing of such beauty...(india lima , flies pretty good as well)
