Apropos of nothing..
I recall, when not much more than a toddler, waiting with my old man for the baker's cart to arrive, a Tiger Moth (I know now) flew overhead.
I'd been fascinated by those 'by-planes' and asked the OM if he could draw it for me.
I remember he protested that he couldn't even draw a pin but we sat down at the dining room table and sketched something out for me.
Well, sorting through some family papers the other day, I came across that very illustration he did for me all those years ago.
The funny thing is - he was not an artist, had no real interest in aeroplanes of any kind and had not even flown in one.
Well, blow me down, he had it pretty well right, just from seeing it fly over.
The proportions, the wing sweep and stagger - and even the iconic DH tail were all there.
Strange.
Hope I didn't bore you.
