As the last surviving afficionado & custodian of the cherished memory of that paragon of British aircraft design, the Wiggins Aerodyne, I doff my virtual cap to a fellow traveller.

Had I not just spent a most enjoyable evening in a vineyard restaurant, I would feel better able to take you to task on several claims that you make regarding that infamous deathtrap, the Gormley-Bulsh Blowfly; the dreadful performance of this contraption is exemplified by the fact that it boasted not an Airspeed Indicator, but a calendar.

When this grape-induced mist has departed, I shall expand my case further; prepare yourself, Sir.
