It's a trade secret how I found it though.

I'm in and out of class all afternoon but will check in and out every fifty minutes from 1315. Usual rules on the green light.

Hi Ken,

Got the usual happening here work getting in the way of SC. The management here don't realise the importance of competitive aircraft recognition...

How unreasonable of them! . I'm lucky in that respect - benefit of being able to work from home some of the time.
I wonder what David has lined up for us?

A choice of four - just trying to decide.......red one, yellow one, green one, or blue one.

If I am by any chance correct can it be OH as I am about to hit the road...

Evening all.

A song for Martin.

To the tune of "Ernie" by Benny Hill. Sing after me:

...."and they called him Flashman, and he flew the fastest keyboard in the West".....

OK mate.

I'll make sure my next one isn't a biplane - just for you.

(fighter pilots are all heart innit!)

a scattering of BL-755s
Sport of kings......cluster bombs, but politically incorrect these days...

Great killer weapon

Don't shout at me - I think military killing machine. Issa job innit.
