Eheu ! fugaces........

Warmtoast to Walter603,

Lovely pic of lovely old days !

I thought the Grunau Baby was quite enough exposed to the elements for my liking, but this is really for the birds. Reminds me of those kits consisting of pieces of žin balsa, tissue paper, banana oil, a prop and a laggy band, with which we taught ourselves the principles of flight in our tender years.

Oh, those long, halcyon summers just before the war ! (The BBC [for once] got it right with a programme title about them: "The Long Afternoon").

Danny.
