A very interesting thread, this one....

What's coming through is that we don't seem to take ourselves too seriously, do we? That's great.

Years ago I went on an organised trip to what was then the Jaguar museum at Coltishall. Later in the bar I got talking to the bus driver, who gave me ear-ache about silly people logging airframe numbers etc. He then told me he was a bus spotter....did you know that London transport had 5000 big red buses, whilst there were only 500 in all of East Anglia....

Each to his own. It's legal, and doesn't frighten the horses, so carry on folks!
Just off to buy a new numbers book, and get the anorak dry cleaned. the airshow season's under way.

Finmally, thanks to the member who started this off. Sadly I didn't make the Fly-in this year, but I know that I, and all the other anoraks, do appreciate that people fly their aircraft down there, for we penguins to look at.....
