Deference when it is due

It would appear that this thread has lost a bit of steam.

Perhaps it is because it appears that the 'fabled', is being big noted for his dexterity and lack of grace - regardless of the provocation - in manhandling double amputees into swimming pools?

??

I have just finished reading a book about the fighter aces of the first world war, both sides. Phew boy, tough times, very tough times.

Of course most of my age group (who were interested in aviation) grew up devouring names like Bader, Tuck Galland, Malan, Johnson, Finucane, Gibson, Wallis, Boyington, Caldwell, etc etc.

All of whom have each led more people to the fabled and delightfully imaginery world of aviation than the so called fabled of this thread. Perhaps even he?

Unless I have misplaced my entire upbringing.
cheers tet.
