Clearly you are an enlightened one who understands. You will be welcome within the brotherhood.

May I suggest a renaming to the "Craftsmens' Guild of Pitts Artistes"?

A little less conversation,
a little more aviation...

Cough - the lower right is now officially "Simon's", the lower left "Luke's" - which leaves me the choice of either upper aileron - which, on reflection, managing to scrape either of those down the runway would be a 'Denny Dobson eat your heart out' affair.

I should imagine that if you're buying the beer you can call it whatever you want!!

Enough of this fun Pitts baiting...I'm off to my bed.

Just as long as they are tighten up now????????

You know it makes sense.....

The best bit about Pittses is watching them land at Connington in a strong crosswind. Should be on TV...........Set to the theme tune of those magnificent men....

Go on try a monoplane, you know you want to......

Frickin Laser, probably more to do with the studied concentration from its pilot, talent and application, how dull.........

Seriously sort those ailerons out............

Unable Fenland, but Tiger should be a go.

Now the S2B, horrible......
